Hey, I'm a bit worried about something. My liver has been described as a "fetty lever" or something like that. I'm not sure what this means, but should I be concerned about it? Is it something that could be harmful to my liver? And if it is, what kind of treatment or steps should I be looking into to address it? I'm just trying to figure out how serious this is. Thanks!

it is due to high cholestrol storage in the liver. avoid high fatty items

I'm really concerned about my cousin's dad. He's dealing with mild hepatomegaly and a grade 1 fatty liver, plus he's got total lung damage. The doctors have basically said there's not much hope and mentioned we might only have as little as 15 to 30 days. Is there anything we can do or try? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Grade 1 hepatomegaly isnt life threatening usually. U should elaborate on the lung condition or any other underlying issue that hes facing.
