Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
(NAFLD) Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a condition where excess fat is stored in the liver, leading to its swelling and scarring – known as Cirrhosis. It is a growing health concern, especially in those with obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol. NAFLD is important to diagnose and manage because is it a major risk factor for a number of serious diseases, such as liver cancer and heart attack. If left untreated, the liver can become damaged, making it less able to perform its job of filtering toxins and processing nutrients. Treatment for NAFLD involves lifestyle changes like physical activity, healthy eating, weight loss and alcohol abstinence. Early diagnosis is key to preventing serious damage, making it important to visit your doctor if you are experiencing any of the signs and symptoms of NAFLD.
