As a culture, we seem to be increasingly liver-conscious—ever more aware of the importance of a healthy liver. This attention is well deserved. Without question, the liver is one of our most vital organs—perhaps second only to the lungs and the heart.

We can live with just one kidney or a single lung, and we can do without the spleen entirely. But we cannot survive without a functioning liver.

 

Understanding the fatty liver

Fatty liver disease or hepatic steatosis, or diffuse hepatic steatosis, is a common condition associated with the occupancy of excess fat in the liver cells. The liver is the most frequent location for fat build-up since it plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fats. Usually, the liver contains some amount of fat, but when the deposition reaches or exceeds 5% of the liver cells (hepatocytes), it is treated as unhealthy.

 

Defination Of Fatty Liver

The body stores fat for energy and insulation in many areas, including the liver. If the fat content in the liver is too high, it can signify fatty liver disease.

 

Symptoms of fatty liver 

 

  Liver disease doesn't always cause noticeable signs and symptoms. If signs and symptoms of liver disease do occur, they may include:

 

• Skin and eyes that appear yellowish (jaundice)
• Abdominal pain and swelling
• Swelling in the legs and ankles
• Itchy skin
• Dark urine color
• Pale stool color
• Chronic fatigue
• Nausea or vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Tendency to bruise easily

 

Prevention of fattly liver

 

• Drink alcohol in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women and up to two drinks a day for men. Heavy or high-risk drinking is defined as more than eight drinks a week for women and more than 15 drinks a week for men.
• Avoid risky behavior. Use a condom during sex. If you choose to have tattoos or body piercings, be picky about cleanliness and safety when selecting a shop. Seek help if you use illicit intravenous drugs, and don't share needles to inject drugs.
• Get vaccinated. If you're at increased risk of contracting hepatitis or if you've already been infected with any form of the hepatitis virus, talk to your doctor about getting the hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines.
• Use medications wisely. Take prescription and nonprescription drugs only when needed and only in recommended doses. Don't mix medications and alcohol. Talk to your doctor before mixing herbal supplements or prescription or nonprescription drugs.
• Avoid contact with other people's blood and body fluids. Hepatitis viruses can be spread by accidental needle sticks or improper cleanup of blood or body fluids.
• Keep your food safe. Wash your hands thoroughly before eating or preparing foods. If traveling in a developing country, use bottled water to drink, wash your hands and brush your teeth.
• Take care with aerosol sprays. Make sure to use these products in a well-ventilated area, and wear a mask when spraying insecticides, fungicides, paint and other toxic chemicals. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Protect your skin. When using insecticides and other toxic chemicals, wear gloves, long sleeves, a hat and a mask so that chemicals aren't absorbed through your skin.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity can cause nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

 

 Fatty liver disease diagnosed

 

• You may be asked to have a blood test called a liver function test.
• This will check the health of your liver. You may also be asked to have a scan such as:
• an ultrasound
• an MRI scan
• If the tests show you have fatty liver, you may need some other tests to look further into your health.
• Depending on the results of the tests, your doctor may suggest that you see a gastroenterologist (specialist doctor). In severe cases, a specialist may organise a biopsy of your liver to confirm the diagnosis. This will also help them assess how severe the disease is.
