Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Unlikely: To develop cirrhosis. Fatty liver is endemic in our society and directly related to the obesity epidemic in america. A fatty liver in and of itself without symptoms causes no significant problem. I would stop worrying about some unlikely disease process and investigate weight loss options.
