Understanding Fatty Liver: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Fatty liver disease, also known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a silent disease that rarely presents with symptoms until it is severe. It is projected to be the number one cause of liver transplantation in the US by 2030 and is rising in children. The number one risk factor for fatty liver disease is Type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome encapsulates most of the risks for its development.
