What is Fatty Liver Disease

What should you know about it?

Fatty liver disease (FLD) occurs when excess fat, primarily triglycerides, accumulates in liver cells, often due to an imbalance between fat intake and metabolism. Your liver, a vital organ for nutrient processing and detoxification, naturally contains minimal fat. However, excessive calorie intake from food or alcohol forces the body to store this surplus as fat in liver cells.
FLD is closely linked to lifestyle factors like obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, High Cholesterol levels, metabolic syndrome and Chronic Alcohol consumption. While often people experience symptom-free in early stages, but if left untreated FLD can progress to severe and irreversible complications, including: Liver Inflammation (Steatohepatitis), Fibrosis (Liver Scarring), Cirrhosis (Severe Liver Scarring), Liver Cancer, and Liver Failure

Types of Fatty Liver Disease

What Are the Types of Fatty Liver Disease?

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

The most common form, affecting individuals with Obesity, Diabetes, or High Cholesterol, independent of significant alcohol use. It ranges from simple fat accumulation (steatosis) to its more severe inflammatory form, Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD)

Directly caused by chronic alcohol consumption. Early-stage AFLD is often reversible with complete alcohol abstinence, but without intervention, it can lead to alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure.
