Long-term fat accumulation in the liver and excessive alcohol consumption continuously damage liver cells, leading to chronic hepatitis and a high risk of developing cirrhosis.

A 48-year-old man, Binh, experienced dark urine, itchy skin, and fatigue for over six months, initially suspecting exhaustion, but tests revealed hepatitis B and liver enzymes elevated tenfold.

I have stage one fatty liver and was advised to limit fried and fatty foods. Why should people with liver disease not eat these foods? (Thanh Tung, 38)
Mr. Phi, 63, had chronic hepatitis B for 10 years with stable health, leading him to skip regular check-ups; he was recently diagnosed with early-stage liver cancer.
