What is fatty liver disease?

The largest organ in your body is the liver. It helps in absorbing the nutrients, storing energy, and removes toxins from the body. Fatty liver occurs when excessive fat accumulates in the liver. Too much fat in your liver can cause inflammation and damage to your liver. There are two types of Fatty Liver Disease:

  • Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
  • Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD)


What is a Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)?

What is Liver Cirrhosis?

Cirrhosis is a late-stage liver disease in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue, causing permanent damage to the liver. Scar tissue prevents your liver from functioning properly.

Development of any disease in the liver damages healthy liver cells which can lead to death or inflammation of the cells.

The scar tissue hinders the liver’s capacity to process nutrients, hormones, medicines, and harmful toxins and limits the blood flow through the liver. Moreover, it reduces the liver’s ability to produce proteins and other substances. Over time, cirrhosis prevents the liver from functioning normally. Cirrhosis in its advanced stages can be fatal.

  • Consume excessive alcohol
  • Have viral Hepatatis
