Hepatic Steatosis

Hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver disease, is an accumulation of fat in the liver cells. It is commonly associated with obesity, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and high levels of triglycerides in the blood. Hepatic steatosis can interfere with normal functioning and lead to liver inflammation and scarring. Fatty liver is treated by lifestyle interventions like weight loss, physical exercise, and a healthy diet. Medication or surgery may be necessary in advanced cases.
