Fatty Liver

Fatty Liver Treatment in Indore by Dr. Sarang Mahanaik

Fatty liver disease is a common condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in liver cells, which can lead to liver inflammation and damage if left untreated. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a specialist gastroenterologist in Indore, offers expert diagnosis and personalized treatment for fatty liver to help patients maintain optimal liver health and prevent complications.

Overview of Fatty Liver

Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when fat builds up in the liver beyond normal levels. It is often associated with obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and excessive alcohol intake, but can also develop in individuals without these risk factors. Fatty liver disease is broadly classified into two types: alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

If unmanaged, fatty liver can progress to more serious conditions such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, cirrhosis, or even liver failure.

Symptoms and Types of Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disease often progresses silently with minimal symptoms, but some patients may experience:

• Fatigue and weakness

• Mild discomfort or pain in the upper right abdomen

• Unexplained weight loss

• Enlarged liver detected on physical exam

Types of fatty liver include:

• Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Fat accumulation not related to alcohol consumption, commonly linked to metabolic syndrome.

• Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD): Caused by excessive alcohol intake leading to fat buildup and liver inflammation.
