Reviews of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its treatment with homoeopathic mother tinctures

Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disorder in western industrialized countries, with a prevalence of
approximately 20%. NAFLD is characterized by an increase in fat in hepatocytes (steatosis) that is visible on ultrasound and cannot be attributed
to other causes. The most common cause of NAFLD is alcohol, so it is important to consider NAFLD if the male consumes less than 18 units per
week and the female consumes less than 9 units per week. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is diagnosed when inflammation is present
(increased LFT, typically ALT). Check for associated metabolic disorders (obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension) and eliminate other
causes of liver disease. The development of cirrhosis may necessitate the use of elastography or biopsy. Obesity, diabetes mellitus, NASH, and
advanced age are all risk factors for progression. Manage risk factors, such as obesity, with the assistance of bariatric surgery. Address
cardiovascular risk (the most prevalent cause of mortality). Refrain from consuming alcohol. Ultrasound± AFP is performed twice annually. Fatty
liver does not have a standardized treatment. The abnormal changes in the liver can be readily reversed by treating the underlying cause, provided
that the disease is detected early. Arsenic Album, Nux Vomica, Chelidonium, Cardus m, Apocynum, Lycopodium, Sepia, Phosphorous, Digitalis,
Bryonia, Helleborus Niger, Ferrum Met, Kali Carb, Iris V, Natrum Carb, and numerous other homoeopathic remedies are highly beneficial in the
treatment of fatty liver symptoms.
