What is the pathology of fatty liver?

Patient's question:

I've never heard of this disease called fatty liver before. I just know the name fatty liver, but I don't know what the condition of this disease is like. I've searched for information about this disease on many websites, but there were no good answers, only explanations from netizens. I want to know the pathology of this disease.

Doctor's answer:

Patients with fatty liver disease can have total fat levels reaching 40% to 50%, with some exceeding 60%, primarily composed of triglycerides and fatty acids, while phospholipids, cholesterol, and cholesterol esters only increase minimally. Fatty liver is a pathological condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat within liver cells, caused by multiple etiologies. This pathological state is the most common response of the liver to various injuries. For severe fatty liver patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive effects. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
