The liver is an essential organ of the body, as it performs hundreds of functions necessary to keep our bodies functioning, so any problems with it become serious, even fatal.
Fatty liver disease is one such problem, and it occurs because there is too much fat in the liver.
The British doctor, William Al-Azzawi, a consultant liver disease, revealed how to discover the warning signs of the disease, according to what was reported in the British newspaper, “Express”.
“Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a common condition caused by excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. It can affect anyone,” he said.
He continued, “Fat increases the risk of exposure to serious health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart and kidney disease.”
“In some cases, fat can irritate the liver, leading to inflammation, scar tissue formation or fibrosis,” he added.
He continued: “If the condition is left untreated, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can progress to scarring and advanced cirrhosis, which can increase the risk of liver failure or liver cancer.”
Symptoms of fatty liver disease
The consultant hepatologist said: “Fatty liver disease is called a silent disease, because the affected person does not experience any symptoms, even as the disease progresses.”
He continued, but there are 6 symptoms that appear in the late stages of the disease, and they include:
Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice).
Flatulence.
itchy skin
dark urine
pale stools
bruising easily
So if you notice any of these symptoms, you should go to the specialist doctor immediately.
According to the NHS, patients with fatty liver disease also suffer from:
extreme tiredness
Unexplained weight loss.
Weakness.
Swelling of the legs, ankles, or feet.
– Methods of prevention:
Although there is no cure for fatty liver disease, making some lifestyle changes can help relieve symptoms, including:
– Getting rid of excess weight.
Follow a healthy diet.
Do regular exercise.
Avoid alcohol consumption.
