Fat liver vs cirrhos: Fatty-liver disease #1 liver disease in america today and is due to the obesity epidemic, out-doing the alcoholic liver disease by far--just fat that is infiltrating the liver. Cirrhosis=fibrosing/scarring of the liver caused by alcohol, hepatitis, cancer, radiation, wilson disease, autoimmune hepatitis etc.. Cirrhosis is worse/more advanced liver disease. Consult your doc..Good luck.

12: Liver cirrhosis is the final result of all forms of liver injury which are commonly alcohol, hepatitis c, b, certain drugs etc. Non-alcoholic liver disease is another form of liver injury which is a result of excessive fat deposition in liver cells and can result in liver cirrhosis in later stages. In earlier stages it will be causing liver inflammation also known as steatohepatitis.
