Fatty Liver: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment Explained | Dr. Srikant Mohta

Fatty liver is a condition where excessive fat accumulates in the liver cells. Often, fatty liver disease does not exhibit noticeable symptoms until it reaches a more advanced stage. However, when symptoms do appear, they may include fatigue, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, a feeling of fullness in the upper right side of the abdomen, and swollen abdomen or legs. There are two main types of fatty liver: Alcoholic fatty liver disease (ALD) caused by heavy drinking. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), typically linked to obesity, poor diet, or diabetes.
