Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD / NASH)

Fatty Liver occurs when excess fat builds up in liver cells. While small fat amounts are normal, excessive fat accumulation triggers liver inflammation, tissue scarring, and elevated risk of liver failure.

Categorized into Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)—linked to obesity, insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and elevated triglycerides—and Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD).

Most patients remain asymptomatic, though some experience dull discomfort in the upper right abdomen below the rib cage. Fatty liver is frequently detected during routine ultrasound scans.

When diagnosed early, fatty liver is completely reversible. Care Hospital Bathinda provides non-invasive FibroScan fat quantification (CAP) and medical nutrition therapy.
