Understanding Fatty Liver: From AFLD to NAFLD

Your liver is your body's powerhouse, filtering toxins, processing nutrients, and keeping everything running smoothly. But what happens when fat starts to accumulate in this vital organ? It leads to a disease known as fatty liver disease. In this blog, we'll delve into the world of fatty liver, exploring what it is, the different types (including AFLD and NAFLD), and, most importantly, how to treat fatty liver.

What is Fatty Liver?

Your liver is an organ responsible for over 500 bodily functions. One of its key jobs is storing fat, but when too much accumulates, it can lead to fatty liver disease.

Fatty liver disorder means a conditon in which excess fat builds up in your liver cells. It can happen for various reasons. Fatty liver often doesn't cause immediate problems, however, if left untreated, it can progress to serious liver diseases and symptoms, such as liver inflammation and even cirrhosis. 

Types of Fatty Liver

There are two main categories of fatty liver disease, differentiated by the root cause of the fat accumulation:

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD)

As the name implies, alcoholic fatty liver disease is directly linked to excessive alcohol consumption. Heavy drinking over a prolonged period can damage your liver cells. The liver, struggling to keep up with the constant assault of alcohol, starts to malfunction and become inflamed, allowing fat to accumulate and wreak havoc on its delicate processes.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the more prevalent type of fatty liver disease, affecting individuals who don't necessarily consume excessive alcohol. The exact cause of NAFLD remains under investigation, but research suggests a strong link to factors like insulin resistance, obesity, and genetics.

How Do You Treat Fatty Liver?

There's no magic bullet for fatty liver, but a multi-pronged approach can effectively manage the condition and even reverse the fat buildup. Here's a look at some key strategies:

Weight Loss: Shedding even a modest body weight can significantly improve your liver health, whether or not you are diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver. Aim for gradual, sustainable weight loss through healthy eating and exercise.

Dietary Changes: Embrace a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats to keep your liver happy.

Exercise: Regular physical activity helps burn fat and improve insulin sensitivity. Patients diagnosed with alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases are advised to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

Limit Alcohol: If you have AFLD, abstaining from alcohol is crucial. Even for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), moderation or complete abstinence is recommended.

Manage Underlying Conditions: If you have diabetes, high cholesterol, or other health conditions contributing to a fatty liver, work with your doctor to manage them effectively with medications.

Conclusion

Alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases are problematic but manageable. Now that you understand the disease and the potential treatments, you know you can take action to improve your liver health. To simplify your journey and get personalised guidance on fatty liver treatments, explore digital healthcare apps that offer resources and support through health monitoring, dietary consultations, and more.

NAFLD and NASH - Symptoms, Causes, Differences and Treatment

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition characterized by an accumulation of fat in liver cells (hepatocytes). Excess fat in the liver can lead to significant damage over the years. There are two types of NAFLD:

Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL)

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

NAFL (Non-alcoholic fatty liver) - It is a benign condition and in this fat is accumulated in the liver that can cause inflammation of liver but not a progressive damage or complications of the liver. This may result in abdominal discomfort or pain due to an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly).

NASH (Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) – It is a malignant condition and in this fat is accumulated in the liver can cause scarring of liver, liver fibrosis and liver damage further it can cause cirrhosis of liver (also called as end-stage liver disease), further cirrhosis of the liver may lead to liver cancer.

Many people typically develop any type of NAFLD with having no symptoms; most of the time it is diagnosed by a healthcare professional or doctors by doing investigations for abnormal laboratory results or imaging test of the abdomen for unrelated problems.

In order to help people with this condition, doctor identify people those who all are at risk and offers advice on how to manage the condition before significant liver damage occurs. NAFLD is a condition that can be treated and often managed with lifestyle changes.

Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - NAFLD causes :

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is not a condition that can be passed on (i.e., it does not spread from person to person). In fact, it occurs most often in people who have one or more of the following risk factors:

Obesity

Diabetes or prediabetes

High cholesterol

Arterial hypertension

Sedentary lifestyle

Use of certain drugs

The medical researchers still do not know the exact reason why NAFLD affects some people with the conditions listed above, but not others.

It is also poorly understood why in some people fat accumulates in the liver without causing significant damage (benign steatosis), while in other people it causes significant damage (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis - NASH).

Since the prevalence of this condition is increasing in INDIA, if you have one or more of the risk factors for the disease, it may be reasonable to discuss with your Hepatologist (Liver Specialist Doctor) whether you need evaluation or not. However, there are no specific-accepted guidelines for who should be further investigated for this condition, other than those with unexplained abnormalities in liver enzymes.

Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - NAFLD Symptoms:

Many people with NAFLD do not have any symptoms, but in those who do, these are usually non-specific such as:

Mild fatigue

Discomfort or pain in upper right abdomen

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis – NASH Symptoms

Over the years, the presence of fat can trigger inflammation of the liver, which can lead to the formation of scar tissue. In an advanced state, the amount of scar tissue in the liver can reach a level called cirrhosis of the liver, which refers to the precise appearance of the scar tissue, liver fibrosis and its degree. In patients with NASH and cirrhosis of the liver can eventually lead to the appearance of signs and symptoms such as:

Increased fatigue

Buildup of fluid in the abdomen (ascites)

Confusion (encephalopathy)

A decreased or loss of appetite

Bleeding easily or bruising (Ecchymosis)

Nausea (an uneasiness of the stomach)

Edema (Swelling in your feet, ankles or feet)

Unexplained weight loss

Yellow discoloration in the skin and eyes (jaundice)

Esophageal varices - enlarged or swollen veins in the esophagus that can cause vomiting of blood, bloody or black tar-like stool

The goal of screening for NAFLD is to ensure adequate surveillance, offer treatment advice and decrease the chances of complications such as cryptogenic cirrhosis, hepatic transaminases, and cryptogenic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC - common type of primary liver cancer).

Fatty liver disease, encompassing Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), silently affects millions in India. At PACE Hospitals, we're shining a light on this often-overlooked condition, empowering you to take control of your liver health.
