Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition in which excess fat accumulates in the liver, resulting in inflammation and damage, though no excessive alcohol consumption is present. This is the most common chronic liver condition in the United States, and is associated with obesity and diabetes. NAFLD is a serious medical condition that can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and even hepatocellular carcinoma. Treatment is focused on lifestyle changes and management of underlying risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Early detection and lifestyle modifications are the best ways to reduce the risk of developing NAFLD and its associated complications.
