What effects does obesity have on the liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steatohepatitis.: Obesity can be associated with a fatty liver, which could be just an incidental finding but could also lead to cirrhosis and actual liver damage in the future. Losing weight tends to reduce the chance of this bad outcome.
