Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Fatty liver can be as a result of alcohol use or associated with diet and excess weight. The gemifibrozil will treat high triglycerides and high cholesterol if these are the abnormalities seen in your cholesterol results and the metformin would reduce the insulin resistance that is commonly associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver. The American college of gastroenterology suggests the following: weight loss, reduce alcohol intake, appropriate vitamin E intake, omega 3 is used if the triglycerides are high but not specifically for the liver disease. The 9 kg weight loss would improve your present conditions. I hope this helps
