How does Fatty liver develop?

The liver is the major organ in our body and executes several functions like digestion, detoxification, storage of energy, and metabolism. Normally, a small amount of fat is seen in liver cells. When it becomes excess in our body, fat cells become accumulated in liver cells and leading to inflammation and damage to liver cells. This condition is known as Fatty liver.

It is of mainly 2 types :

Alcoholic fatty liver disease

Normally, the liver detoxifies the alcohol consumed. When its consumption becomes excess, the breakdown products themselves cause injury to liver cells and lead to fatty liver and hepatitis. In later stages, it will progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
