Fatty Liver Disease – Causes, Symptoms & Treatment By Dr. Mouna HN

Fatty Liver Disease is a common condition in which excess fat accumulates in the liver. It is becoming increasingly common due to unhealthy eating habits, obesity, diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle. While many people may not experience symptoms in the early stages, untreated fatty liver can progress to liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver failure.

Common Causes
✔ Obesity and excess body weight
✔ Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
✔ High cholesterol and triglycerides
✔ Unhealthy diet rich in fats and sugars
✔ Lack of regular physical activity
✔ Excessive alcohol consumption

Symptoms to Watch For
✔ Fatigue and low energy
✔ Pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen
✔ Unexplained weight changes
✔ Loss of appetite
✔ Nausea or bloating
✔ Elevated liver enzymes on blood tests

Treatment & Prevention
Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause. A healthy diet, regular exercise, weight management, diabetes control, and avoiding alcohol can significantly improve liver health. Early diagnosis through regular health check-ups and appropriate investigations helps prevent complications and protects liver function.

If you have risk factors or persistent symptoms, consult a physician for proper evaluation and personalized treatment.
