Medical Disclaimer

FattyFix publishes general health information. It is not medical advice.

No doctor–patient relationship

Reading this site, using its calculators or emailing us does not create a doctor–patient relationship. We cannot and do not diagnose, treat, prescribe for or advise any individual.

Not a substitute for professional care

Always seek the advice of a physician, pharmacist, dietitian or other qualified health provider with any question about a medical condition or a treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice, and never delay seeking it, because of something you read here. Do not start, stop or change a prescribed medicine on the basis of this site.

Our calculators

The tools on FattyFix implement published risk scores and equations. They produce estimates for discussion with a clinician. They do not diagnose liver disease, they cannot rule it out, and a reassuring result is not a clean bill of health.

Supplements and herbal products

Supplements are not regulated like medicines. Some have been linked to liver injury in their own right, and some interact with prescription medicines. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplement, particularly if your liver is already under strain.

Emergencies

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or your local emergency number immediately. Do not rely on this website.

No warranty

We work to keep this site accurate and current, but medicine changes and errors happen. FattyFix makes no warranty, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy or currency of anything published here, and accepts no liability for any action taken on the basis of it.
