Fatty liver disease, or hepatic steatosis, is a liver disorder which occurs when there is too much fat in the liver and has two types - alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The first one, alcoholic in nature, is about as common and as many as heavy alcoholic drinkers. These people are those who take in more than 60g of alcohol per day. However, even moderate (but regular) drinkers are also susceptible to the disease. Because of its singular cause, it is easier to treat compared to non-alcoholic liver fat disease.
The second type, non-alcoholic in nature, is different from the former because of the causes and the rate of how fast each develops. The accumulation of fat in the liver is due to one or more non-alcoholic causes such as high-fat diet, obesity, diabetes milletus, high triglyceride, and hypertension. Although it is the most common form of liver ailment, non-alcoholic disease is considered more difficult to treat due to its various possible sources. Numerous research studies have also concluded that it may lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and eventually liver failure.
HEPATIC STEATOSIS
Non-alcoholic fatty liver can be prevented (or even reversed) through proper diet. It is generally asymptomatic, which means it does not show symptoms at its early stage. Usually, the symptoms reveal themselves when the condition has progressed to a more severe state, which is more dangerous.
A proper and healthy diet that can help worsen non-alcoholic liver disease consists of low fat or non-fat food, high fiber intake, and complex carbohydrates. One should also consider the essential vitamins, minerals, and food groups to determine the specific meals to take each day in order to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
