What is Fatty Liver?
Fatty liver, medically known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver cells. While it's normal for the liver to contain some fat, having more than 5-10% of the liver's weight as fat indicates fatty liver disease.
The liver is one of your body's largest organs and plays crucial roles in digestion, energy storage, and removing toxins. When fat accumulates in the liver, it can lead to inflammation and damage over time.
