khadihealth on 21 Jun 23UNDERSTANDING FATTY LIVER DISEASE Fatty liver disease, or hepatic steatosis, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive fat in liver cells. Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are the two main varieties of fatty liver disease. AFLD occurs as a result of heavy alcohol consumption, while NAFLD is associated with metabolic factors such as obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. Consequences of Fatty Liver Disease Initially, fatty liver disease may be asymptomatic and go unnoticed. However, if left untreated, it can progress to more severe conditions such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, and liver cancer. These complications significantly impact life expectancy and quality of life.
