Understanding Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver, medically known as Hepatic Steatosis, occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver cells. Over time, this buildup can cause inflammation, scarring, and lead to more serious complications such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, or even liver failure if left untreated.

Types of Fatty Liver Disease

  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Common in patients with diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol.
  • Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Caused by excessive alcohol consumption leading to fat buildup in liver cells.

Common Causes and Risk Factors

  • Obesity and insulin resistance
  • High cholesterol and triglycerides
  • Type 2 diabetes and hormonal disorders
  • Rapid weight loss or unhealthy diet habits
  • Excessive alcohol intake
  • Genetic predisposition

Symptoms of Fatty Liver Disease

In its early stages, fatty liver often shows no symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, patients may experience:

  • Chronic fatigue and weakness
  • Discomfort or pain in the upper right abdomen
  • Unexplained weight gain or bloating
  • Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
  • Elevated liver enzymes in blood tests
