Treatment of Fatty Liver Diseases – Schwabe India

Fatty liver disease or steatosis is a condition where there is a build-up of excess fat in the liver cells. It is usually normal for the liver to contain some fat, but if the fat accounts for more than 10 per cent of the liver’s weight, then it may lead to fatty liver and then develop more serious complications. Fatty liver may cause no damage, but sometimes the excess fat leads to inflammation of the liver called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Sometimes this condition can be caused by a fatty liver due to long-term alcohol abuse. This is known as alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is an umbrella term for a range of liver conditions affecting people who drink little to no alcohol. A nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is a serious form of liver disease, marked by liver inflammation, which may progress to scarring and irreversible damage. This damage is similar to the damage caused by heavy alcohol use. Most severe, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis may progress to cirrhosis and liver failure
