Fatty liver disease in the absence of alcohol use is known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Causative factors remain obesity, type 1 diabetes, old age, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. Two subtypes of this disease are non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Usually, patients get it diagnosed during a routine blood test. Liver biopsy can rule out the cause in severe conditions. Treatment modality is through lifestyle changes like weight loss, diet changes, and exercise.
Probiotics in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) - Prevention and Management
The gut microbiome is closely linked to the development of NAFLD. In NAFLD cases, probiotic therapy regulates liver function, insulin, and lipid levels.
Surgical Management of Severe NAFLD in Lean Patients
Bariatric surgery and liver transplant are the surgical management of severe NAFLD in lean patients.
