one of the commonest finding nowadays in an ultrasound or sonography of the abdomen is fatty liver
What is fatty liver
It is a condition where excess fat is stored in the liver cells
Even though storage of fat is a primary function of the liver too much of it can cause problems
Since the liver is responsible for various functions of the body and any damage to it can cause a range of health issues
Fatty liver disease is of 2 types
Alcoholic fatty liver
And non alcoholic fatty liver(nafld)
So what are the Causes of nafld
Main causes are obesity , insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
Obesity - when a person consumes more calories than what the body needs , the excess calories are stored as fat.over time excess fat accumulates over the liver.
Insulin resistance - insulin is a hormone which helps regulate blood sugars hence thought of as something associated with diabetes
But it's a hormone which converts food particularly carbs into cholestrol
So what exactly happens in insulin resistance
Due to deposition of fat the liver is not accepting insulin as it should
This creates a signal to the pancreas which produces more insulin
Because the feed back is not responding
Because of this huge quantities of insulin are produced in the pancreas than normal
This creates a problem with the liver As it will get fatter and fatter.
Metabolic syndrome when you gave a cluster of disease like hypertension, high triglycerides, high blood sugar can give rise to nafld
Om basis of severity nafld is divided into 4 stages
1st simple fatty liver when excess fat accumulates On the liver cells but there is no inflammation
2nd Steato hepatitis excessive fat deposition along with inflammation and damage to liver cells
3rd Fibrosis at this stage there is development of scar tissue which can lead to reduced liver function
4th Cirhosis is the most severe form when there is extensive damage and scarring to the liver.
The good thing is that liver cells are the only cells are the only cells whixh are capable of regeneration obviously it is going to be a slow process
