What IS

Constitutes Fatty Liver Disease?


Fatty liver disease comes in two primary categories: non-alcoholic (NAFLD) and alcoholic steatohepatitis (alcoholic fatty liver disease). Fatty liver disease (FLD) denotes a condition in which fat accumulates within liver cells. This can lead to hepatitis (liver inflammation), potentially progressing to fibrosis and permanent harm. If the severity of the ailment advances or remains untreated, FLD can evolve into liver cirrhosis, termed hepatic cirrhosis medically, culminating in liver failure.

It is pivotal to heed the cues your body is transmitting and connect with a GI specialist at Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates. Our adept practitioners are devoted to delivering patient-centric care for fatty liver disease in Texas.

  • Hepatitis A and B vaccinations
  • Weight reduction
  • Reducing alcohol consumption (if alcoholic FLD is present)
