Patients with fatty liver are often accompanied by high blood lipids, high cholesterol and other conditions, which increase blood viscosity and eventually lead to thickening and hardening of blood vessel walls, forming atherosclerosis. As a result, the heart does not receive adequate blood supply, causing cardiac ischemia, myocardial spasm, angina pectoris or myocardial infarction.

2. Cause digestive dysfunction

Fatty liver directly affects the liver's digestive function, leading to indigestion, loss of appetite, anorexia, abdominal distension and nausea after eating, lipid metabolism disorders, etc. Long-term loss of appetite can cause lack of energy, neurasthenia, dry skin and dull complexion.
