Fatty liver disease is a common, often silent condition where excess fat accumulates in liver cells (hepatic steatosis), affecting over 5–10% of the liver's weight. It is primarily caused by metabolic issues like obesity and diabetes (MASLD) or heavy alcohol use (AFLD). If left untreated, it can cause severe liver inflammation, scarring (cirrhosis), and failure.
