FATTY LIVER: HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH
Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver cells. While having small amounts of fat in the liver is normal, an excessive buildup can lead to liver inflammation, scarring, and more severe complications like liver cirrhosis over time. With changing lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits, fatty liver disease has become increasingly common, affecting people of all ages.
Causes:
- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD): Caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Linked to obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and sedentary lifestyles, unrelated to alcohol use.
Common risk factors:
- Obesity: Excess weight is one of the leading causes of fat buildup in the liver.
- High Cholesterol: Elevated levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) can contribute to fatty liver.
- Diabetes: Insulin resistance can result in fat deposits in the liver.
- Poor Diet: Diets high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats are known contributors.
- Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of exercise or physical activity exacerbates the condition.
Symptoms:
Fatty liver often develops silently, without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, as the condition progresses, some individuals may experience:
- Fatigue
- Abdominal discomfort, especially on the upper right side
- Bloating and indigestion
- Unexplained weight loss
- Yellowing of the skin (jaundice) in advanced cases
