Fatty liver disease is often called a silent condition. Why? Because most people don’t even realize they have it until it’s advanced. The truth is, you can have fatty liver without any obvious symptoms—and it can silently harm your liver over time.
Early detection is key. At Shree Polyclinic & Lab, we help patients uncover and manage fatty liver before it becomes serious.
What Is Fatty Liver?
Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. There are two types:
- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Linked to obesity, PCOS, high cholesterol, and poor diet.
- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD): Caused by excessive alcohol intake.
Both can lead to inflammation, liver damage, and eventually cirrhosis if not treated.
Can Fatty Liver Have No Symptoms?
Yes—most people with fatty liver have no symptoms in the early stages. It is usually discovered through:
- Routine health check-ups
- Blood tests showing elevated liver enzymes
- Abdominal ultrasound scans
Early Symptoms of Fatty Liver to Watch For
While the condition is often silent, some people may experience:
- Persistent fatigue
- Mild discomfort in the upper right abdomen
- Weight gain or abdominal bloating
- Dark patches on skin (neck, underarms)
- Elevated blood sugar or cholesterol
- Unexplained liver enzyme changes in test reports
If left untreated, fatty liver can worsen and cause:
- Liver fibrosis
- Cirrhosis
- Liver failure in severe cases
