[|Human|] My husband drinks alot of diet soda. Does diet soda cause fatty liver disease? He has had blood clots (one deep vein years ago and numerous siperfical ones). He is currently on a high dose of lovenox and Coumadin. I see that fatty liver disease causes problems with the blood clotting process? Im thinking that i should ask his doctor about this? Am I on the right track at all? Thank you, Marilyn
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. This is not likely that diet soda would cause fatty liver. Common liver disorders is fatty liver which can be found in healthy people, but usually is resulting from elevated blood lipids, overweight and elevated blood sugar. If ultrasounds didn't find anything and viral markers are negative then you have no reason to be concerned. He should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated Chat Doctor.  Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If not, then some medicines can be prescribed, but I suggest going step by step. Wish you good health.
