Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disease refers to the abnormal accumulation of triglycerides in liver cells (hepatocytes). It progresses through a spectrum of liver conditions, from simple steatosis (fat accumulation) to more severe stages like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Stages of Liver Disease

Normal Liver
Fatty liver
Liver Fibrosis
Cirrhosis

Symptoms of Fatty Liver Disease

  • Fatigue and unexplained weakness
  • Abdominal discomfort (especially in the upper right quadrant)
  • Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
  • Dark patches on skin (Acanthosis Nigricans)
  • Redness of palms (Palmar Erythema)
  • Hair thinning or hair loss

Causes of Fatty Liver Disease

  • Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
  • Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance
  • Excessive Alcohol Consumption
  • High Cholesterol and Triglycerides
  • Poor Diet (high in processed foods and sugars)
  • Sedentary Lifestyle
  • Chronic Viral Hepatitis (e.g., Hepatitis C)

Limitations of Medication Therapy

  • Pharmacological Interventions
  • Approach: Drugs like Pioglitazone (for insulin resistance), Vitamin E (for NASH in non-diabetics), and emerging options like GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Semaglutide).
  • Limitations: No FDA-approved drug specifically for NAFLD/NASH; side effects include weight gain (Pioglitazone) and bleeding risk (Vitamin E).

  • Lipid-Lowering Medications (Statins & Fibrates)
  • Approach: Used to manage high cholesterol and triglycerides, which contribute to NAFLD progression.
  • Limitations: Does not directly reverse fatty liver; requires long-term use and may elevate liver enzymes in rare cases.

  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Approach: Weight-loss surgeries (e.g., gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) in severe cases with obesity (BMI >35).
  • Limitations: Invasive procedure with surgical risks; requires lifelong dietary adjustments; not suitable for all patients.
