Understanding Fatty Liver

Kauvery Hospital07 Nov, 2025Health

As a common finding on routine ultrasounds, a diagnosis of "mild fatty liver" indicates an early stage of fat accumulation in the liver. It is primarily diagnosed via an ultrasound scan and is most often linked to metabolic factors, making it a hallmark of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). This condition is staged based on the severity of fat infiltration, with Grade I being the earliest and most reversible form. The cornerstone of treatment involves significant lifestyle modifications, including weight loss through diet and exercise, as there are no specific medications approved for its direct treatment.
