Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disease, or hepatic steatosis, occurs when there is an accumulation of fat in the liver cells. This condition can be categorized as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD). At Emirates Hospitals, we provide specialized care to diagnose, treat, and manage fatty liver disease effectively.

Causes and Symptoms of Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disease is often associated with obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and alcohol consumption. In many cases, patients may not experience symptoms in the early stages, but as the disease progresses, they may develop fatigue, weight loss, and abdominal discomfort.

Treatment Options of Fatty liver

Treatment for fatty liver disease focuses on lifestyle modifications and medical management, including:

• Weight Management: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise is essential.
• Medical Management: Medications may be prescribed to address associated conditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol.
• Regular Monitoring: Periodic liver function tests and imaging studies are necessary to monitor disease progression.
