Fatty hepatosis is one of the types of liver cell damage at the metabolic level. The pathological process consists in depositing excess fat inclusions inside the hepatocytes, accumulating and breaking the envelope. At the same time, fat enters the intercellular space, and the normal parenchyma undergoes fibrosis( proliferation of connective tissue).
The replacement of the liver with non-functioning structures occurs gradually. Initial reversible changes go to the stage of cirrhosis. Then the only method of treatment remains liver transplantation. Treatment of fatty hepatosis of the liver with folk remedies supports medical therapy, includes recommendations on nutrition, does not replace, but significantly helps the restoration of hepatocytes with traditional drugs of hepatoprotective action.
