The two main forms of this pathology:
- Alcoholic steatosis: caused by regular and excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: associated with metabolic factors such as overweight, diabetes or poor diet.
Particularly worrying, the non-alcoholic form affects approximately 25% of the world's adult population and can progress to severe complications without appropriate care.
Symptoms not to be ignored
- Unusual and persistent fatigue
- A feeling of discomfort or pain in the upper right part of the abdomen
- Recurring digestive problems (bloating, heaviness)
- Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes in advanced stages
- Nausea and loss of appetite
The presence of these symptoms warrants a medical consultation and specific examinations.
Main risk factors
- An unsuitable diet: excessive consumption of sugary, fatty and processed products.
- Being overweight: particularly abdominal fat which promotes lipid deposition in the liver.
- Metabolic disorders: type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.
- Alcohol consumption: even moderate but regular.
- Physical inactivity: which slows down liver metabolism.
The good news? Lifestyle changes can often improve the situation.
