What is fatty liver?
This is a lifestyle disease. When the level of fat in the liver exceeds normal, it is called fatty liver. This is a common problem, especially in people who are overweight.
Fatty liver does not have any specific symptoms, but it can cause serious health issues. Obesity, alcohol consumption, excessive consumption of fatty diet are the main causes of fatty liver.
In most cases, fatty liver patients are advised to change their lifestyle and diet, do regular exercise and lose weight.
How to detect fatty liver at home
The symptoms of fatty liver are usually very common. Nobody pays attention to them. Let us know about the 7 signs of fatty liver through the pointers below, which can be easily detected at home.
pain under right rib
Persistent mild pain under the right rib could be a red flag. This is the area where the liver is. Pain here may be a sign that the liver is swollen or its size has increased due to fat accumulation. For this, as a precaution, start a healthy diet and do regular exercise. If the pain is severe and persistent, consult a doctor immediately.
accumulation of fat around the stomach
Sudden or gradual weight gain, accumulation of fat around the abdomen can be a sign of fatty liver. The liver plays an important role in fat metabolism and when it is not functioning properly it can lead to fat accumulation around the abdomen. If you have not made any special changes in your diet, but fat is increasing around the stomach, then it is important to get it checked.
acne or skin problems
This may be surprising for many people, but our skin can tell a lot about the health of the liver. Yes, persistent acne may be associated with fatty liver.
Actually, the liver helps in removing toxins from the body and when it overwork due to fat, the toxins can come out through the skin, which can cause acne, warts or blemishes.
dark spots on skin
Darkening of the skin on the neck, armpits or around the elbows can also be a sign of fatty liver. This condition is usually a sign of insulin resistance, which is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
yellowing of eyes or skin
Jaundice, which causes the skin and whites of the eyes to turn yellow, is a sign of liver failure. This occurs when the liver is unable to properly filter bilirubin, a waste product released from red blood cells.
swelling in the feet, soles, or hands
Swelling in the feet, ankles or hands occurs when the liver is unable to produce enough protein, leading to fluid imbalance. If swelling is persistent or is accompanied by any other symptoms, it may be a sign of fatty liver.
feeling tired or weak
Feeling constantly tired even after resting may be linked to liver problems. Fatty liver can impair the body’s ability to store and release energy, causing a person to feel tired and weak. If the energy level is low without any apparent reason then the person needs to pay attention to the health of his liver. Learn from the graphic below how to get rid of fatty liver easily.

Alcohol is harmful for the liver
The job of the liver is to break down toxins. When a person drinks alcohol, different enzymes present in his liver work to break down the alcohol, so that it can be removed from your body. But when someone consumes more alcohol than the liver can handle, alcohol and its byproducts harm the liver.
There are often no symptoms in the early stages of alcohol-related liver disease. Therefore, we may not even realize that the liver is getting damaged due to alcohol. However, it can be identified by some symptoms like fatigue, weight loss without any reason, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting.
