It's really a mystery

why I have fatty liver.  I am not obese and don't have type II diabetes, which are the two factors most associated with this disorder.  Both times I was diagnosed with it, my diet was horrible. The first time I cleaned things up and the biomarkers righted themselves (that may have happened this time; the next set will tell) but the condition was worse this time, according to the ultrasound.  It's a form of inflammation and it predated my ankle tendon inflammation and kidney/lung involvement that led to the Wegners diagnosis.  It kind of makes me wonder if fatty liver might have been the first manifestation of the disease.  I'll have to look around the web to see what I can find.
