Fatty liver doesn't always present obvious symptoms, but it can trigger serious complications if not detected early. Learn about its causes, signs, and how to take care of yourself.
Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when fat accumulates in liver cells. While having a small amount of fat is normal, when this vital organ exceeds 5% fat content, it can begin to deteriorate.
