Fatty liver is the build-up of excess fat in the liver cells. It is normal for the r liver to contain some fat, but if the fat weights more than 10% of the liver’s weight, it is called fatty liver. Fatty liver may cause no damage, but sometimes the excess fat leads to inflammation of the liver. This condition, known as steatohepatitis, cause liver harm. Sometimes, inflammation from a fatty liver is linked to alcohol abuse; this is called alcoholic steatohepatitis. Otherwise the condition is called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH. An inflamed liver may become scarred and hardened over time. This condition, called cirrhosis, is serious and often leads to liver failure. Eating excess calories causes fat to build up in the liver. When the liver does not process and break down fats as it normally should, too much fat will accumulate. It is known that fat accumulates in the liver with a number of conditions. The most common is obesity. Fatty liver is also associated with diabetes, high blood triglycerides, and frequent use of alcohol. Fast weight loss and poor nutrition may also lead to fatty liver. Some people develop fatty liver even if they have none of these conditions. It is important to take good care of the liver. Liver Combo with Milk Thistle (200 mg), Dandelion (200 mg), Licorice (50 mg), Nettle Leaf (50 mg) and Schisandra (50mg) is a good natural solution.
