Viral hepatitis?: Both hepatitis b and hepatitis c can be causes. Excessive alcohol consumption can also do this. "fatty liver" is often associated with metabolic syndrome and elevated lipids, but some people can have lower triglycerides. There are a number of other causes of hepatitis as well. You need to see your doctor for a full evaluation.
