FATTY LIVER DISEASE
Your liver is essential for your life.
This critical organ can be damaged with excess fat, leading to liver inflammation, scarring and eventually failure. Due to greater consumption of sugar and fatty foods in our diets, fatty liver disease is on the rise.
Millions of people around the world have fatty liver disease and don’t realize it because they may not have symptoms early on.
The good news is that if detected early, fatty liver disease can be stopped from progressing and potentially reversed, protecting the health of your liver.
Those who are obese and/or diabetic – or at risk of these conditions – would benefit greatly from early disease detection to live longer, healthier lives.
Fatty liver disease is formally known as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). It tends to develop in people who are overweight or have diabetes, leading to excess fat in the liver.
Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is NAFLD’s most severe form, causing chronic liver inflammation and accumulation of tissue scarring (fibrosis). It leads to cirrhosis and liver cancer, which can only be treated by liver transplant.
