Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver without the influence of alcohol consumption. It is often associated with obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. NAFLD can lead to inflammation and damage in the liver, potentially progressing to more serious liver diseases.
The exact cause of NAFLD is not fully understood, but it is linked to metabolic syndrome, which includes a combination of conditions like high blood pressure and insulin resistance. Early detection and lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and increased physical activity, can help manage and reverse the condition.
