Overview
The treatment of fatty liver depends on what is causing it, and generally, treating the underlying cause will reverse the process of steatosis if implemented at early stage. Recent studies suggest that diet, exercise, and especially antiglycemic drugs may alter the course of the disease. A randomized controlled trial found that pioglitazone led to metabolic and histologic improvement in subjects with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.[1]
Elderly may not benefit from treatment[2].
