   Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition in which excessive fat accumulates in liver cells.

1. Fatty liver

   Fatty liver, also known as fatty liver disease, is a reversible condition where large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells via the process of steatosis. Despite having multiple causes, fatty liver can be considered a single disease that occurs worldwide in those with excessive alcohol intake and those who are obese. The condition is also associated with other diseases that influence fat metabolism. Morphologically, it is difficult to distinguish alcoholic FLD from nonalcoholic FLD, and both show microvesicular and macrovesicular fatty changes at different stages. Accumulation of fat may also be accompanied by a progressive inflammation of the liver, called steatohepatitis. By considering the contribution by alcohol, fatty liver may be termed alcoholic steatosis or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and the more severe forms as alcoholic steatohepatitis and Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
