The main role in treatment is in eliminating the root cause that provokes steatosis. Such as alcoholism or exposure to certain medicines and other toxic substances. Of course, sufficient treatment of the underlying disease, such as diabetes, and keeping glycaemia (blood sugar) values within the necessary range is important.

For obese people, weight reduction is important, however, not rapid.

Weight loss must be done carefully, slowly and under the guidance of a professional, with regular check-ups with a doctor. Radical reduction diets and rapid weight loss can, on the contrary, worsen the difficulties of steatosis. A weight reduction of approximately 10% of the initial body weight is sufficient to start with.

Modification of eating habits, reduction of intake of sugars and inappropriate fats is important. Other dietary measures and modification of the overall lifestyle are also important.

Pharmacological treatment includes hypolipidemic, cytoprotective, hepatoprotective therapy, antioxidants, or treatment of insulin resistance.

Supplementation with B vitamins (B6, B9, B12), vitamin C, E, but also probiotics.

The secondary medical school in Nitra gave me the basis for my career in the field of health and diseases. Thanks to it, I worked for 2 years in the traumatology clinic and outpatient clinic at the Nitra Hospital. Since 2006 I was employed in the emergency medical service, where I stayed until 2017. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra in the field of emergency health care. The bachelor's degree allowed me to continue my mission as a paramedic. In the meantime, I got a job at the emergency line 155. I have been working in pre-hospital health care until today. I had an interest in people, health and even diseases in my childhood, which gave me the prerequisite to pursue this topic in adulthood. Studying and acquiring new information in practice provided me with a great basis for writing professional texts, in the form of articles that can be understood by ordinary people. Thus, my interest in the Health Portal has a solid foundation in years of practice and personal interest. Similarly, I am also interested in healthy eating, nutrition and overall healthy lifestyle. I fill my free time with family and sports.
