There isn't a treatment for fatty liver (hepatosteatosis). If it's caught early enough, lifestyle modifications including cessation of alcohol use, weight loss, and controlled diet can stop the liver from being damaged further, but there's no medication she can take to make it go away. That's why it's so absurd that she's not even trying to control anything about her life choices. If left untreated, hepatosteatosis progresses to cirrhosis, which can cause hepatic encephalopathy, enlargement and fatal hemorrhage of veins in the esophagus, liver failure, and death. It also drastically increases the patient's risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma, an especially aggressive form of liver cancer with a median survival of less than two years from diagnosis.
in summary, Chins is FUCKED.
And yet with everything that has gone wrong in her body, she still hasn't died!!
The amount of resilience apparently built into this woman's body, despite every organ being taxed to the extreme, almost makes me believe in intelligent design.
