Fatty Liver is a build up of fat on the liver. Alot of the time, it is not because of drinking. Drinking is more associated with cirrhosis of the liver. Fatty liver can cause liver damage that gets worse overtime. The main contributers to fatty liver is Obesity, High Cholesterol or Diabetes. If you need to know more about fatty liver you may want to check out Webmd.com, I am a nurse and that is where I get alot of my information from. Good Luck.

Fatty liver disease affects a whopping 30% of the population. That's 30 out of every 100 people! And some estimates have it at 33%.
And if you're overweight, it's even worse overweight people are extremely more likely than healthy weight individuals to develop this condition.
In other words, you're not alone. Not by a long shot.
Other fatty liver sufferers have reversed their condition, lost weight, and rediscovered their energy, using completely natural remedies. And that means you can, too!

Fatty liver can be a temporary or long term problem which is not harm itself but may suggest some other type of problem. If left untreated may result in other illnesses. A fatty liver is the collection of triglycerides in the liver cells. Alcoholism is the most common cause of this condition, but non-alcoholics can also get this condition.
Suggestion is to see your family doctor and see what the problem is and what course of action he recommends.

Yes, I have heard of it. The ER nurse is correct in that it can be either a temporary or chronic condition. It's an accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. It can be caused by obesity, diabetes, excessive alcohol, IV tetracylcine and corticosteroids and exposure to toxins. It's seen in kwashiorkor and is also a rarely seen complication in late pregnancy. It's usually reversible once the underlying condition is uncovered and dealt with.

Yep, my son (23 at the time) got that diagnosis--a relief since he-d been living with 2 parents w/ hep-c virus. His doc said it was likely do to his rapid weight gain (after moving out of his healthful mom's house) ;D hee-hee--well, I was fat conscious & he did take body building through high school. So, don't panic, do take better care of yourself, do practice "moderation in all things--even moderation". Eat healthy & exercise --even parking at the far end of the lot counts--so does a good sex session (wink-wink) PS, he was a beer drinker too, you might want to check out red wine--it's actually good for you --again, the moderation thing--and it's classier than beer --I'm thinkin' of what the babe's might be thinking
