A disease in which excess fat accumulates in liver cells is called the epidemic of the 21st century. About 20-33% of adults on Earth have it. Gastroenterologist Evgenia Melnikova Gazeta.Ru told why it happens.

According to the doctor, the disease can usually occur as a result of a high-calorie diet, consumption of pastries, cakes, sweets, jams and preserves, as well as sweet drinks, freshly squeezed juices and sweet fruits. The disease can be asymptomatic for a long time. It is usually detected by ultrasound, CT or MRI of the abdominal cavity.

However, over time, symptoms continue to appear. Often, patients feel tired, their performance decreases, general weakness, nausea and heaviness in the right hypochondrium appear. Loss of appetite is also a common symptom, the doctor noted.

If a person has had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease for several years, they may have heart problems. This is because a lot of fat accumulates in the liver, and it begins to put pressure on the main organ.

The doctor also warned that this disease could deteriorate the patient’s vision. Due to illness, the level of vitamin A, which is very important for the eyes, usually falls. This is because the liver does not produce enough bile. Hypercholesterolemia and osteoporosis can also develop due to the disease.
