Symptoms of Fatty Liver
▪ Most of the time patients have no symptoms
▪ Fatty Liver may be detected incidentally by abnormal blood
test (Liver Profile) or during an ultrasound examination
▪ Due to the nature of the disease causing no symptoms,
patients with fatty liver normally live with it and take no
remedial action to reverse the disease
▪ Some patients present at later stage of the disease with liver
failure (Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis) or liver cancer
(Hepatocellular Carcinoma)
