Watch out for signs of fatty liver disease

According to the literature, fatty liver is not a manifestation of a pathology but of many pathologies combined. In normal people, the amount of fat in the liver is very low. It only accounts for 2 to 4% of the weight of the liver (fat includes phospholipids, cholesterone, trigyceride, fatty acids). Fatty liver is when liver cells contain fat globules and fat bubbles.Increasing the amount of fat inside the liver is likely to lead to fatty hepatitis and cirrhosis.
