Fatty liver disease, also called hepatic steatosis, is characterized by abnormal accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes. It is broadly categorized into Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), the latter being strongly associated with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Often asymptomatic in early stages, it can progress to steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis if untreated. Lifestyle modification forms the cornerstone of prevention, while homeopathic medicines aim to support liver function, reduce fat deposition, and address constitutional predisposition.
