Fatty liver disease occurs when the body begins to store too many lipids in the liver. This can occur in obesity, uncontrolled diabetes, hypercholesterolemia or excess alcohol consumption. If left untreated, it can result in liver scarring and damage. it is important to discuss this finding with your primary care Dr and come up with a plan specific to your medical history that can address this.

Fatty liver is because of fat storage because of eating more than your body requires to function. When you are not eating the fat is broken down and used by the body. Too much fat in the liver could cause inflammation and scarring of the liver that is not healthy for the body. When addressed quickly you could reverse the situation. Work with your health care professional on nutrition and exercises
