What Is Hepatic Steatosis?
10. What Is the Prognosis for NAFLD?
The prognosis for those with hepatic steatosis is good if lifestyle changes are made. Further damage to the liver can be prevented when the conditions that lead to the disease are eliminated through a healthy diet, exercise, and cholesterol and blood sugar control.
If the disease has led to NASH and significant liver scarring, reversing the damage is not possible. Changes in lifestyle, however, can prevent further progression of the disease. Liver failure and severe damages are less manageable, and a transplant may be the only option.
