Whether or not it was caused by alcohol or other issues, it is very important to address it before it becomes much more serious ailments and diseases. Alhamdulillah fatty liver disease is reversible, but it will take a little bit of work.
Fatty liver or hepatic steatosis, is a term that describes the buildup of fat in the liver. It’s normal to have small amounts of fat in your liver, but too much can become a health problem.
The Liver is the second largest organ in the body. It’s responsible for a wide variety of functions, including processing everything we eat and drink, and filtering harmful substances from the blood. The Liver commonly repairs itself by rebuilding new liver cells when the old ones are damaged.
When there’s repeated damage to the Liver, permanent scarring takes place. This condition is called cirrhosis. In mild forms, fatty liver can be a reversible condition that may improve with lifestyle modifications such as diet changes, weight loss, and increased physical activity.
It’s believed that the excess fat in the Liver, along with certain medical conditions, increases inflammation. If your Liver becomes inflamed, you may have symptoms such as:
Poor appetite
Weight loss
Abdominal pain
Physical weakness
Fatigue
Confusion
If fatty liver progresses to cirrhosis and liver failure symptoms can include:
Enlarging fluid-filled abdomen
Jaundice of the skin and eyes
Confusion
Abnormal bleeding
The most common cause of fatty liver identified in most cases is alcohol use disorder and heavy drinking. In many cases, it’s much less clear what causes fatty liver in people who do not drink much alcohol. However, higher body weight, a diet high in processed sugar, high triglycerides, diabetes, low physical activity, and genetics all play a role.
