Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver without significant alcohol consumption. It can lead to inflammation, liver damage, and even more serious conditions like cirrhosis. NAFLD is often linked to obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Symptoms may be absent, making regular check-ups important, especially for at-risk individuals. Lifestyle changes, such as a healthier diet and increased physical activity, can help manage or reverse the condition. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent complications and promote liver health.
