Self explanantory: "fatty" liver means that there are fat deposits in your liver, usually occurs as we age; and usually benign.

Dr Brown and another doctor agreed

Liver has more fat: A person with mild fatty liver likely has gotten extra fat in most other places in the body, and probably is eating more sugar and plain carbs than he should be. Exercise, weight loss, and a low sugar and low carbs diet will help. He should work with his primary care doctor to see if he needs medication or further testing, as there can be other causes of fatty liver, plus cholesterol problems.

Changes needed: While fatty liver is usually a "benign" finding, it needs to be addressed. Unchecked it can still lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. It is also associated with other comorbid diseases. It is a sign you need to make some lifestyle changes - nothing beats dietary improvement and increased activity/exercise as able.

Dr Brown and another doctor agreed

Fatty liver: Fatty liver disease is a term used to describe the accumulation of fat in the liver. There are 2 main causes, excess alcohol, but the more common cause is Insulin resistance or pre-diabetes. Insulin resistance is diagnosed with, high blood pressure, high triglycerides (more than 150), and weight gain around the waist. Rise in blood sugar often happens later.

Dr Villaplana agreed

Hepatic insulin res: Often seen in patients with metabolic syndrome , low HDL and high triglycerides.

Fat in the Liver: Deposition of triglycerides in the liver from any number of disease processes. This is considered a reversible condition although that may depend on the cause. Significant alcohol intake and obesity are two large contributors.

Steatosis: Increase in the number of fatty cells or adiposites in the liver. It is common in alcoholic liver, in malnutrition, in metabolic syndrome. It causes mild elevation of certain enzymes regarded as "liver enzymes" like ast, alt. On the ultrasound the liver looks more diffusely brilliant or hyerechoic. In gral. It is considered a benign condition. Latest studies suggest small % may develop cirrhosis.

Dr Ferdowsi agreed

Fat infiltration : Several things can contribute to fatty infiltration of the liver including 1) excess weight over a long period of time, 2) pregnancy, 3) diet 4) medical conditions like diabetes, and 5) medications including chemotherapy. Depending on the contributing factors, some of the problem may be treated effectively with weight loss, tight glucose control, and/or dietary modification.

Below: Fatty liver occurs when excess fat accumulates inside liver cells. This means normal, healthy liver tissue becomes partly replaced with fatty tissue. The fat starts to invade the liver, gradually infiltrating the healthy liver areas, so that less and less healthy liver tissue remains. The fatty liver has a yellow greasy appearance and is often enlarged and swollen with fat. This fatty infiltration slows down the metabolism of body fat stores, which means that the liver burns fat less efficiently, resulting in weight gain and inability to lose weight. However some people can have a fatty liver without being overweight.

Fatty Liver: This is a condition where the liver is infiltrated by excess fat. This is found commonly in obese individual. If not reverse this could lead to nafld (non alcoholic fatty liver disease).

Fat in liver: Normal liver cells do not contain fat. Fatty liver cells do, and this is abnormal. Causes include diet, obesity, infections and predisposing conditions such as diabetes mellitus.

Dr Ali agreed

Dr Fowler agreed

Cut out All Carbs: Body ability to store sugar low & sugar used, in small amts, before fats. Sugar (ie. All carbs) in food (beyond low ongoing needs) quickly converted by liver into fat & if liver unable to export fat fast enough; fatty liver results. Thus eliminate all carbs, including fruit, so liver has to convert fat back to sugar & ketones (quite healthy). Study dietdoctor, taubes, lustig, attia, fatheadmovie.

Fatty liver: Drugs, obesity, diabetes are some of the common causes.
