Fatty Liver Disease Treatment in Johor Bahru

Penyakit Hati Berlemak

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly common in Malaysia and is strongly linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol — all of which are prevalent in the local population. Many people with fatty liver have no symptoms and are diagnosed incidentally on ultrasound. Left unmanaged, fatty liver can progress to liver inflammation (NASH), cirrhosis, and liver failure.

Symptoms of Fatty Liver Disease

✓Often no symptoms in early stages
✓Mild fatigue and general tiredness
✓Vague discomfort or heaviness in the upper right abdomen
✓Elevated liver enzymes on blood tests (ALT, AST)
✓Enlarged liver detected on ultrasound
✓Advanced cases: jaundice, fluid in abdomen, swollen legs

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you have risk factors for fatty liver (obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol) and have not had your liver checked recently. If your blood tests show elevated liver enzymes, an abdominal ultrasound is important to assess the liver. Any yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) requires urgent evaluation.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

At Klinik Muhibbah, our doctors screen for fatty liver through liver function tests (LFT), with referral for an abdominal ultrasound when needed. Management centres on lifestyle modification — even modest weight loss can reduce liver fat. We provide dietary counselling, exercise advice, and management of associated conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. We monitor liver enzymes regularly and refer to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for advanced cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a fatty liver check cost at Klinik Muhibbah?▼
Liver function blood tests are available at Klinik Muhibbah, and we refer for an abdominal ultrasound when needed — please call us at +60 7-251 1162 for current pricing. Regular monitoring is important if you have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease.
How is fatty liver diagnosed?▼
Fatty liver is typically diagnosed through a combination of elevated liver enzymes on a blood test (ALT, AST) and a bright appearance of the liver on abdominal ultrasound. Our clinic does the blood test and refers you for the scan when needed. More advanced assessment (fibroscan or liver biopsy) is referred to a specialist.
Is fatty liver serious — should I act now?▼
Early fatty liver is reversible with lifestyle changes, so it is important not to ignore it. Left unmanaged over years, it can progress to serious liver disease. We recommend addressing fatty liver as soon as it is detected through weight management, dietary changes, and controlling associated metabolic conditions.
