About Fatty Liver Disease in Mumbai
Fatty liver disease is a condition in which excess fat accumulates in liver cells, impairing the liver's ability to function normally over time. It exists in two main forms, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, related to metabolic factors such as obesity and diabetes, and alcoholic fatty liver disease, caused by heavy alcohol consumption, with the non-alcoholic form now the more common cause worldwide including in India. In its early stages, fatty liver disease typically causes no symptoms and is often discovered incidentally on imaging performed for other reasons or through mildly abnormal liver blood tests. If the underlying cause is not addressed, a subset of patients progress to a more serious form involving liver inflammation and scarring, which can eventually lead to cirrhosis. Fortunately, early-stage fatty liver disease is generally reversible with lifestyle changes, making early detection valuable.
