GlossaryFatty Liver Disease

condition where excess fat accumulates in liver cells

Fatty Liver Disease, also known as Hepatic Steatosis, is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver cells. This can lead to inflammation and liver damage over time, potentially progressing to more severe conditions like cirrhosis or liver failure. It is often associated with obesity, diabetes, and excessive alcohol consumption, but can also occur in individuals without these risk factors.
