Fatty liver



Hey, I was wondering if any of you weight liftin guys were ever diagnosed with a fatty liver ?

Im 33 but started lifting and putting on weight 3 years. I started at 180 pounds and now weigh 240. Im 6' 2" tall.

Im can lift almost 3 times as much as I could 3 years ago..so its been a nice success. But was surprised to see my liver tests were abnormal. ALT and AST numbers were high. and actually I graphed my last 3 years of blood tests and there was a steady climb the whole time with those 2 numbers. I also had a small amount of protein in my urine. Hopefully only because of my high protein diet. maybe my body is finally telling me to chill ?

I've been on a high protein diet those 3 years as well. But I also ate really crappy foods on my days off. High in fat / processed. I'll estimate that I have about 15% body fat. So im not the slimmest..but in pretty decent shape.

I was just wondering if this seemed normal? The ultrasound revealed the fatty liver and im doing blood work again in a month. Im going to take it easy and only have 2 small to medium sized meals a day...drink alot of water , salad , and eat good food in general. Will probably go to the health store and get one of those Greens powder drink mix. I hear the liver loves the greens.

Im a bit bummed as I cant lift like a maniac anymore till this gets sorted through. Hopefully its nothing serious. They say people with a fatty liver sometimes have nonalcoholic steatohepatitis as well.

Any advice or input is much appreciated.

John
