For any experts or medical people that know a lot about the liver...?!
Question: because my ALT/AST was mildly elevated (132) and the ultrasound showed a fatty liver, my gastroenterologist assumed that its the reason my liver is inflammed (nash). But anyway I'm not obese, but overweight and at the time been having high cholesterol and triglycerides for a while. As instructed, I lost like about a good 15 lbs over the course of 2 months, change my diet to low - fat but high in fiber/vegetable/fruit diet, no potato chips and I exercise regularly for 40 minutes doing cardio. According to the BMI I went from overweight to ideal normal weight...getting a blood test in Feb. What are the chances that I have reduced the fat on my liver? Due to the fact that I am overweight but not anymore, will my choelsterol/triglycerides lower? Have I reduced the liver's inflammation by lessening the fat intake? I hear you can reverse this over time (roughly 2 years) if you change ur lifestyle....any thoughts?

I have the EXACT same problem and have been changing my life to help get rid of this condition. Yeah chances are you have reduced it but getting rid of it will take a looong time so expect to live a healthy lifestyle for years if you want to be "normal" again
