Fatty liver disease is a condition in which there is an excessive buildup of fat in the liver. This can lead to inflammation, scarring, and eventually liver failure. There are two main types of fatty liver disease: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD).
NAFLD is the most common type of fatty liver disease. It is caused by factors such as obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol. AFLD is caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Both NAFLD and AFLD can lead to serious health problems, so it is important to take steps to avoid them.
