Fatty liver disease, four stages and recommended treatment
Share This Education News
Fatty liver disease is when excess fat accumulates in the liver. Early-stage Fatty liver disease is typically harmless, but if it progresses, it can cause substantial liver damage, including cirrhosis. High amounts of fat in the liver are linked to an increased risk of major health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and renal disease.
This can happen due to heavy alcohol use. In this case Fatty liver can progress through four stages:
Simple fatty liver:
There’s a buildup of excess fat in the liver. Simple fatty liver is largely harmless if it doesn’t progress.
Steatohepatitis:
In addition to excess fat, there’s also inflammation in the liver.
Fibrosis:
Persistent inflammation in the liver has now caused scarring. However, the liver can still generally function normally.
Cirrhosis:
Scarring of the liver has become widespread, impairing the liver’s ability to function. This is the most severe stage and is irreversible.
