Fatty Liver Symptoms, Causes and Treatment || Dr. Meesam Raza

Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver. There are two main types of fatty liver:

1. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): This is the more common type and is not related to excessive alcohol consumption. It often occurs in people who are overweight, have high cholesterol, or have diabetes. NAFLD can range from simple fat accumulation in the liver (steatosis) to a more severe condition known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which involves inflammation and liver damage.

2. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: This is caused by excessive alcohol consumption and can lead to liver damage if drinking continues. It is reversible if alcohol consumption is stopped.

Fatty liver can be asymptomatic, but it may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal discomfort, and liver enlargement in some cases. Severe cases of NASH can progress to cirrhosis, a more advanced and irreversible liver condition.

Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, losing weight if necessary, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, are typically recommended to manage and prevent fatty liver. In more severe cases or when complications arise, medical treatment may be necessary.

If you suspect you have fatty liver or are concerned about your liver health, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and guidance on how to manage the condition.
