Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells. It can occur due to various factors and can be categorized into two main types:
1. *Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)*: This is the more common type and is not related to alcohol consumption. It typically develops in people who are overweight or obese, have insulin resistance (often associated with type 2 diabetes), have high cholesterol or triglyceride levels, or have metabolic syndrome. NAFLD can range from simple fatty liver (steatosis) to more severe forms such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which involves inflammation and liver cell damage.
2. *Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease*: This condition occurs due to excessive alcohol consumption over time. It can lead to inflammation and damage to liver cells. Alcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to more severe forms such as alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis if alcohol use continues.
*Causes and Risk Factors*:
– *NAFLD*: Obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or triglycerides, metabolic syndrome, rapid weight loss, certain medications, and certain genetic factors.
– *Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease*: Excessive and prolonged alcohol consumption.
*Symptoms*: Fatty liver often does not cause symptoms in its early stages. As it progresses, symptoms may include fatigue, abdominal discomfort or pain in the upper right part of the abdomen, enlarged liver, and sometimes jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
