Hepatic Steatosis

Hepatic steatosis, commonly known as fatty liver, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver cells. This condition can result from factors like obesity, alcohol use, poor diet, or certain medical conditions. While it may cause no symptoms initially, it can lead to liver inflammation, scarring, and more serious liver diseases if untreated. Lifestyle changes such as weight loss, healthy eating, and reducing alcohol intake are often effective in managing or reversing the condition. Early detection and addressing underlying causes are important to prevent progression to more severe liver problems.
