Q I heard that along with fatty liver, my blood pressure is high and my blood sugar and cholesterol are borderline. Is this all connected?
A Yes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and dyslipidemia are connected problems that come from one root called metabolic syndrome. That's why managing fatty liver often improves blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol together. Managing overall metabolism together, rather than each separately, is more efficient.
Detailed Answer
Fatty liver rarely occurs on its own; it often appears together with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol and triglycerides). These are the many faces of metabolic syndrome, arising from the common roots of insulin resistance and abdominal obesity. So when you lose weight and correct your diet and exercise, not only fatty liver but blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol often improve together.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we view these various problems not separately but as "one state where surplus overflows throughout the body and metabolism stagnates." Revive the metabolic flow at the root, and liver values, blood pressure, blood sugar, and belly fat all move in the same direction. Caring for overall metabolism together, rather than chasing just one, is the most efficient.
