Introduction:

A fatty liver is a medical term for having excess fat in the liver. Fatty liver can occur at various levels of severity and the results of a fatty liver can be life-threatening if left untreated.

There are three different signs of a fatty liver that help in diagnosing a possible issue with your liver health.

The liver is an important organ that plays an important role in our health. In fact, it's one of the most important organs to help us metabolize and process food, as well as store sugars and fats.

However, having a fatty liver can lead to a variety of health issues. This article will explain signs that you may have a fatty liver and what causes them.

Feeling full and bloated, or having an enlarged abdomen.

The three signs of a fatty liver include feeling full and bloated or having an enlarged abdomen. Other symptoms include excessive tiredness, nausea and/or vomiting, and abdominal pain.

The cause of fatty liver is not always known. Some risk factors include: being overweight or obese, having diabetes, a high-fat diet (including trans fats), smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and obesity. The three signs of fatty liver disease are:

Feeling full and bloated. If you are eating a normal diet, and then eat too much, you may feel full and bloated, or have an enlarged abdomen.

Having a hard time losing weight.

Having a hard time losing weight is one of the most common symptoms of having an abnormal amount of fat in your liver. If you're trying to lose weight, but have trouble due to your liver's condition, it could be because there's too much fat in your liver.

If you have a fatty liver, you may be at risk for Type 2 Diabetes.

If you have a fatty liver, you may be at risk for Type 2 Diabetes. This is because the liver produces high amounts of insulin, which helps control blood sugar. If your body can't use this insulin properly, it can lead to high blood sugar levels.

The most common sign of a fatty liver is an enlarged liver. An enlarged liver is caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver, which then interferes with the function of the organ. Fatty liver can be mild or severe, depending on how well it is controlled by your body.

You may not have any symptoms at all, or you may only have one or two symptoms that do not affect your life. You may have no idea that you have a fatty liver or what to do about it.

Fatty liver disease is a condition that affects the liver. It's not an illness but rather a side effect of certain health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Some people who have the fatty liver disease may not know it because they don't experience any symptoms. In fact, you can have a fatty liver and not know it.

If you have one or more of the following signs, see your doctor:

Jaundice — yellowing of the skin or eyes (called icterus), which can be mild or severe

Elevated levels of cholesterol in your blood (cholesterol levels)

Liver enlargement (hepatomegaly)

Conclusion:

Most fatty liver disease is not visible. The only way to diagnose fatty liver disease is with a blood test (liver enzymes). Your doctor will probably order one if you have any of the following symptoms; abdominal pain, fatigue, weight gain, and nausea.

Unfortunately, I did not know this when diagnosed. I spent thousands on diagnostic tests and procedures. My diet and lifestyle were the cause of my illness.

By the time it was discovered that my diet and lifestyle were responsible, severe scarring had taken place and I was told there was nothing more they could do for me.

If you think you might have this don't hesitate to seek medical advice as early as possible to prevent further damage.

If you have any one or more of these signs, there is no harm in getting a liver function test done to rule out the fatty liver. If the result is positive, diet modification and exercise may be helpful in reversing it.

So if you have been neglecting your fitness regime go ahead and start the diet modifications today!
