Fatty liver after resection?

[tsm1110]

has anyone been diagnosed with fatty liver shortly after have a small bowel resection?i had surgery in april and ever since my liver test have come back high so i had a liver biopsy a few weeks ago and it showed fatty liver.i do not have the full report for another week or so but i was wondering if anyone else have had the same experience.

Were you on TPN before your operation?

No.no TPN.just seems strange that my liver test have come back high since surgery.i was always high normal.around 60.now I'm 85 and at one point 100.

If I remember correctly fatty liver can happen for several reasons. Some being fast weight loss and malnutrition. It might take time to build a healthy weight back. How is yours?

Take care
