Fatty liver: how much weight loss actually helps

Fatty liver isn’t “nothing”, but it isn’t untreatable either — the weight-loss thresholds are clear.

  1. 1Lose 3–5%: liver fat starts to fall
  2. 2Lose 7–10%: liver inflammation (MASH) improves
  3. 3Lose ≥10%: fibrosis can regress
  4. 4Mediterranean-style diet + 150+ min/week exercise is first-line
  5. 5Cutting sugary drinks and fructose has a clear effect
  6. 6The leading cause of death in fatty liver is cardiovascular disease, not the liver

Kidney patients: balance weight loss with protein, potassium and phosphorus — set targets with a dietitian.
