What is fatty liver?

Fatty liver simply means having too much fat deposits in the liver. Naturally there is

a few number of fat present in the liver but when the liver becomes overloaded with fat, it hinders the liver from functioning optimally which pose a real health danger. People with a higher risk of developing fatty liver diseases are overweight or obese people, People with type 2 diabetes also stand a greater risk of fatty liver disease.

How the Liver Function

The liver is the second largest organ in the body and it has variety of function like:

Production of bile and the excretion

Excretion of hormones, bilirubin, cholesterol and drugs

Metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins

Enzyme activation

It stores glycogen, minerals and vitamins,

It helps to synthesize plasma proteins

Blood purification and detoxification

Types of fatty liver disease

Fatty liver is divided into two types: Alcoholic fatty liver disease, also called alcoholic steatohepatitis and (NAFLD) nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Alcoholic fatty liver disease:

The alcoholic steatohepatitis is caused by consuming more than the appropriate amount of alcohol, two drink a day for men and one for women. Drinking excessively can damage the liver, and the liver will not be able to perform the function of breaking down fat properly. If precaution is not taken, and your alcohol consumption is not put under check it can lead to higher chance of liver cancer, liver failure, alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease:

Recently, there have been an increasing rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). While the major cause of NAFLD can be traced down to poor diet. Patients with suspected or confirmed diagnosis are advice to follow a nutritional recommendations, should consider a switch from the consumption of mainly refined grains to whole grains. Aside eating a healthy diet, there is also a need for an increase in physical activity to promote weight loss.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is more common that the Alcoholic fatty liver disease, But you're more likely to if you're obese or overweight; high blood pressure, have diabetes, triglycerides and high cholesterol or other liver infections. Though this type of condition is usually not harmful but sometimes people may develop an advanced stage of it called (NASH) nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. At this stage, your liver becomes swollen and can also cause cirrhosis (when you have a scare on your liver that won’t heal).

This can open a door to issues like:

Having heart disease or a chance of liver cancer.

Drowsiness, Confusion and slurred speech (hepatic encephalopathy)

Ascites: fluid buildup in the abdomen

Esophageal varices: which is the swelling of veins in the esophagus

Liver failure, when your liver finally stops functioning

Blood tests

Running a blood test may help to discover the risk of fatty liver, if there is an

unusual increase in the liver enzymes during a routine blood test, this can be related

to liver inflammation but does not ascertain a fatty liver disease, although further

analysis should be carried out.

Liver biopsy

This is still regarded as most effective way to detect the severity of liver disease and also the exact cause. It is done by inserting a needle into the liver to extract a piece of tissue, the tissue is then examined to detect a liver disease. A local anesthetic will be given to reduce the pain.
