Cannot predict when: Fatty liver is when fat is deposited in the liver. It can be caused by chronic moderate to severe alcohol consumption or by some medications. The most common form though is related to obesity, elevated triglycerides, and diabetes. It can lead to cirrhosis over time. A person does not have to be enormous to get fatty liver, and some people are more prone to getting it than others are.
