Everything you need to learn about Fatty Liver

With the increase of fat inside the liver, inflammation occurs, which results in severe conditions. One can start reversing such conditions by indulging in a healthy diet routine and practising exercise. Another term for fatty liver is hepatic steatosis. This condition occurs when the liver becomes filled with fat. The liver can make space for a small portion of fat, but excess fat deteriorates the condition.

The liver holds the second largest position among your organs in the body. It acts like a filter to eliminate hazardous compounds from the blood and enables entry of nutrients within the body. Inflammation occurs with the presence of excess fat inside the liver which results in deteriorating liver condition. After this stage, one faces a scarring condition causing failure in liver functioning. A person who is a regular alcohol consumer also deals with fatty liver. For this condition, a term is derived, namely, AFLD (Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease).

Those who are away from alcohol consumption and deal with fatty liver term the condition NAFLD (Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease).

Symptoms associated with Fatty Liver condition

In four paths, one gets to experience Fatty liver condition. Go ahead and check below:

Simple Liver Fat: It is the beginning stage in which the presence of fat rises within the liver. This condition remains harmless unless it gets processed.
Steatohepatitis: It is not just fat that adds up in the liver but it also creates a window for inflammation condition.
Fibrosis: Scarring arises due to unceasing inflammation. Though, the liver remains in a normal functioning stage.
Cirrhosis or Scarring: Widespread liver scarring is the last stage and becomes irreversible.

AFLP- Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy

AFLP is a condition that occurs when fat increases inside the liver of a pregnant lady. It is not a common condition during pregnancy, but a small percentage of the population might face it. It is not known how this condition happens during pregnancy, but it is mainly due to genetics.

AFLP gets developed during the 3rd trimester among pregnant ladies. It might result in serious complications and health conditions for the mother as well as the baby when no treatment happens.

When a pregnant lady is diagnosed with AFLP, the doctor recommends getting the baby delivered at the earliest. Once the birth procedure is completed, one needs to follow a certain set of conditions for health care. After certain weeks, your health improves and your liver becomes normal.

NAFLD- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

NAFLD is a condition that develops when individuals with zero alcohol consumption have to bear the complications of fatty liver.

NAFLD is also categorized as NASH (Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis). It occurs due to inflammation along the fatty liver. An individual gets diagnosed with NASH when:

Fat increased inside the liver.
Inflammation develops in the liver.
Clean history of alcohol consumption.

If one ignores any treatment for NASH, it can result in fibrosis condition. If the condition worsens, it leads to the beginning of cirrhosis and ultimately failure of liver function.

AFLD- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Alcohol consumption can result in liver damage and intake of a ton of liquor can worsen the condition. AFLD is the beginning of liver-related disease associated with liquor consumption. When the liver is free from any complications like inflammation or others, it is termed Simple AFLD (Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease).

AFLD also gives rise to ASH (Alcoholic Steatohepatitis). It happens when inflammation accompanies a fatty liver and is also termed Alcoholic Hepatitis. An individual gets diagnosed with ASH when:

Fat doubles or triples in the liver.
Inflammation develops inside the liver.
Habitual consumer of excess alcohol.

If no treatment is performed to ease ASH, it can result in fibrosis and scarring of the liver. In simple words, it can cause failure of the liver.
