Fatty Liver

Excess fat stored in the liver, commonly linked with insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction.

In simple language

Fatty liver means more fat is building up in the liver than should be there. It is commonly tied to insulin resistance, weight gain around the abdomen, higher triglycerides, and type 2 diabetes risk.

In some people it stays quiet, but in others it can progress to liver inflammation, scarring, and higher cardiovascular risk.
