About Liver

• The liver is located on the upper-right side of the abdomen.
• It is the largest internal organ of the human body. 
• Liver secretes the Bile juice.
• The main functions of the liver are to remove toxins and process food nutrients. 
• Blood from the digestive system filters through the liver before travelling anywhere else in the body.

What is Fatty liver disease?

• Liver is the largest organ inside your body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. 
• Fatty liver disease is a condition in which fat builds up in your liver. There are two main types:
  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • Alcoholic fatty liver disease
• Fatty liver may cause no damage, but sometimes the excess fat leads to inflammation of the liver. This condition, called steatohepatitis, does cause liver damage.
• An inflamed liver may become scarred and hardened over time. This condition, called cirrhosis, is serious and often leads to liver failure.

Causes of Fatty liver disease

• Eating excess calories causes fat to build up in the liver. When the liver does not process and break down fats as it normally should, too much fat will accumulate. People tend to develop fatty liver if they have certain other conditions, such as obesity and diabetes 
• Alcohol abuse, rapid weight loss and malnutrition may also lead to fatty liver. 
• However, some people develop fatty liver even if they have none of these conditions.

Prevention and Treatment

• There are no specific medical or surgical treatments for fatty liver.
• Preventive steps include the following
  • Losing weight safely
  • Avoiding alcohol
  • Control over diabetes
  • Eating a balanced, healthy diet
  • Increasing physical activity
