Fatty liver disease is one of the most common diagnoses in recent years. The condition develops when liver cells begin to accumulate fat, gradually impairing its function. The causes vary — from diet and sedentary lifestyle to heredity and viral infections. In this article, we will review the main risk factors, early symptoms, methods of diagnosis and prevention of fatty liver disease, as well as a product containing substances that help support normal liver function.

Main Causes of Fatty Liver Disease

Doctors note that fatty liver disease can have multiple origins:

• Alcohol – excessive drinking damages the liver and accelerates fat degeneration of liver cells.
• Poor diet – overeating, excess fatty and sugary foods disrupt metabolism.
• Sedentary lifestyle – lack of activity slows down metabolism and contributes to fat accumulation.
• Medications – some drugs may negatively affect the liver.
• Genetics – hereditary predisposition increases the risk of the condition.
• Viruses – viral infections can trigger pathological processes in the liver.

Symptoms and Early Signs of Fatty Liver Disease

In the early stages, the condition may progress without obvious symptoms. As it advances, however, warning signs may appear:

• a feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the right upper abdomen;
• chronic fatigue, drowsiness, low energy levels;
• nausea, digestive issues, reduced appetite;
• enlarged liver, detected during medical examination.

Important: these symptoms can also be typical of other liver diseases, so self-diagnosis is not recommended.

Diagnosis of Fatty Liver Disease

To confirm the diagnosis, doctors use modern methods:

• Ultrasound (USG) – shows liver enlargement and fatty changes;
• Blood tests – assess liver function and lipid levels;
• MRI or CT scans – help determine the extent of damage;
• Biopsy – used in complex cases.

Prevention and Lifestyle for Fatty Liver Disease

Preventing fatty liver disease is easier than treating it. Specialists recommend:

• following a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, protein, and whole grains;
• limiting alcohol intake;
• maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding overeating;
• engaging in at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily;
• undergoing regular preventive check-ups.

Even if you already have risk factors, lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the burden on your liver and prevent complications.

Conclusion

Fatty liver disease develops gradually and may remain unnoticed for a long time. The earlier it is diagnosed and lifestyle adjustments are made, the higher the chances of preserving liver health.
