Fatty liver disease means that too much fat is stored in your liver cells. It is very common, usually causes no symptoms in the early stages and is often found by chance on an ultrasound, but it can progress to inflammation and scarring if the causes are not addressed. This page explains the grades, symptoms, causes and conventional management of fatty liver, and how Welling Homeopathy treats it.

What is fatty liver disease?
Fatty liver can happen if you eat more calories than you burn, or if you drink alcohol regularly. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) usually does not cause any symptoms until it gets worse. In some people the fat leads to inflammation and scarring and, if cirrhosis, the most advanced stage, develops, symptoms can include yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), itchy skin and swelling in the legs, ankles, feet or abdomen.
The early stages, grade 1 and grade 2, can improve a great deal with sustained lifestyle changes, which is why early attention matters.

- Often no symptoms at all

- An enlarged liver found on examination
- Raised liver enzymes (SGPT and SGOT) on blood tests
- Dark, velvety patches of skin on the neck or armpits
- Abdominal weight gain
- Jaundice, itching, or swelling of the abdomen or legs in advanced liver disease
