Fatty liver grade 1 is the least severe form of fatty liver disease. It is important to make lifestyle changes to manage and potentially reverse the condition. Treatment usually involves: 1. Weight loss: Encourage your mom to lose weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise. 2. Medications: Doctors may prescribe medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid to improve liver function. 3. Avoid alcohol: It is important to avoid alcohol consumption to prevent further damage to the liver. 4. Control diabetes and cholesterol levels: Keeping diabetes and cholesterol levels under control can help improve fatty liver. 5. Vitamin E supplements: Some studies suggest that Vitamin E supplements may be beneficial for fatty liver disease. Please consult a doctor for proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
