What is fatty liver?
Fatty liver disease, or hepatic steatosis, encompasses a range of conditions characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the liver cells. This condition can be broadly categorized into alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). AFLD is caused by excessive alcohol consumption, which leads to fat accumulation in the liver and can progress to more severe conditions like alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. NAFLD, on the other hand, is not related to alcohol consumption and is associated with metabolic risk factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and high levels of fats in the blood.NAFLD is the most common form of chronic liver disease in Western countries, affecting around 25% of the global population."zone name","placement name","placement id","code (direct link)" direct-link-1685810,DirectLink_3,22508418,https://balloonsbuild.com/p1xeixxffe?key=39fb251404a4a7da289962358b69a81e di
