Understanding Fatty Liver Disease (FLD): Symptoms, Types, Risks, and Treatment

Fatty Liver Disease Overview

  • Fatty liver disease (FLD), also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the liver.
  • Typically, FLD presents with little to no symptoms; however, individuals may occasionally experience tiredness or upper right abdominal pain.
  • Complications of FLD include cirrhosis, liver cancer, and esophageal varices.

    • Types of Fatty Liver Disease

  • FLD encompasses two main types: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease.
  • NAFLD comprises simple fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
  • Primary risk factors for NAFLD include alcohol consumption, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, along with certain medications like glucocorticoids and hepatitis C.
  • It remains unclear why some individuals develop simple fatty liver while others progress to NASH.

    • Diagnosis and Assessment

  • Diagnosis of FLD relies on medical history, supported by blood tests, medical imaging, and occasionally liver biopsy.

    • Treatment Approaches

  • Treatment for NAFLD typically involves dietary changes and exercise to promote weight loss.
  • Severe cases of NAFLD may necessitate liver transplantation.
  • More than 90% of heavy drinkers develop fatty liver, with approximately 25% progressing to alcoholic hepatitis.

    • Prevalence and Demographics

  • NAFLD affects about 30% of individuals in Western countries and 10% in Asia, with approximately 10% of children in the United States affected.
  • It tends to occur more frequently in older individuals and males.
