Fatty Liver Disease
Expert Care for Fatty Liver Disease
Understanding Fatty Liver Disease
Fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver, causing inflammation, scarring, and in some cases, progressing to liver failure. Many people have no symptoms until it becomes severe, making timely diagnosis and care crucial.
At our center, we provide advanced evaluation and treatment for all stages of fatty liver disease. By addressing the root causes and creating personalized care plans, we help patients reverse liver damage, prevent complications, and restore long-term health.
- Rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and poor diet are making fatty liver one of the leading liver disorders worldwide.
- With timely lifestyle changes and proper treatment, fat deposits can be reduced and the liver can fully recover.
When Should You Seek A Specialist
Symptoms Of Fatty Liver Disease
Persistent fatigue or weakness
Ongoing tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest may indicate the liver isn’t processing nutrients and toxins properly.
Yellowing of eyes or skin (jaundice)
This means the liver is struggling to filter waste products from the blood.
Swelling in the abdomen or legs
Fluid retention suggests the liver is under stress or already showing early signs of damage.
Discomfort in the upper right abdomen
Continuous pressure or dull pain beneath the ribs may be a sign of liver swelling from fat buildup.
Unexplained weight gain or loss
Sudden changes in weight, especially without diet changes, can occur as liver metabolism is affected.
history of diabetes, obesity or high cholestrol
These conditions increase your risk, even if you have no symptoms at all.
Common Causes of Fatty Liver Disease
Understanding the root causes helps in preventing and reversing liver damage.

Even moderate drinking can worsen liver fat in some individuals.
High Cholesterol or Triglycerides
Imbalanced blood fats increase liver fat storage.
Unhealthy
Diet
Frequent consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and refined carbs accelerates liver fat deposition.
