Fatty liver
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a term used for many liver conditions that affect people who consume very little or no alcohol. As the name suggests, the main feature of the condition is too much fat stored in liver cells.
Usually, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has symptoms such as fatigue, pain, or discomfort in the upper right side of the abdomen.
Some people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may develop nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an aggressive form of fatty liver disease that is marked by liver inflammation and then may progress to advanced scarring (cirrhosis) and liver failure.
