Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is a condition presenting with liver inflammation and damage due to the build-up of fat. It is often caused due to obesity and insulin resistance. It is also caused due to high cholesterol, high triglycerides, polycystic ovarian disease, and an underactive thyroid. The symptoms are fluid accumulation in the abdomen, loss of appetite, nausea, swelling in the legs, and yellowish discoloration of the eyes and skin. In severe cases, it causes scarring of the liver and cirrhosis. It is managed by losing weight and by following a healthy diet. Lowering the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the body too helps a lot.
