Fatty liver is the infiltration of fat inside your liver cells. That fat takes up space and gradually the liver loses its efficiency, filling your body with fat and toxic waste. Thirty three percent of all Americans suffer from this condition and don't even know about it. Identifying steatosis, its medical name, is important and in this article I will explore how to identify and treat this condition.
What are the symptoms of liver disease?
STEATOSIS
Most symptoms of mild fatty liver are, well, mild. They are not the kind of symptoms that rush you to the doctor's office, but they can signal more dangerous complications.
Mild steatosis causes bad breath, coated tongue, circles under the eyes, headaches or dizziness, and a permanent feeling of being bloated. If you are overweight, fatty liver is more likely if you don't seem to be able to lose weight even when you follow a diet. However, being overweight is not a hallmark of this disease and many people who suffer from this condition are not.
Steatosis is also linked to metabolic syndrome, diabetes type 2, hypertension, and increased cholesterol levels. Note however that having a negative liver test does not guarantee that you don't have mild fatty liver disease.
