Fatty Liver

Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition where excess fat accumulates in liver cells, impairing liver function. This condition can lead to various side effects, including abdominal discomfort, fatigue, loss of appetite , nausea , and abdominal swelling . If left untreated, fatty liver can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more severe condition characterized by inflammation and scarring. Fatty liver can also increase the risk of developing insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, it may lead to liver inflammation, cirrhosis , and even liver cancer in advanced cases. Early detection and lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss and a healthy diet, can help manage fatty liver and prevent its progression to more severe stages.
