A member asked:
In which probability the steatosis nafld of an obese, diabetic, not drinking woman will become cirrhosis? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Fatty liver is not as likely to cause cirrhosis as alcoholic hepatitis or viral hepatitis but it is certainly possible to develop cirrhosis from NAFLD. Working on lowering cholesterol and losing weight is always recommended.
