The cases of fatty liver are rising at an unprecedented pace.
While earlier, the hazardous disease was prevalent in adults and older people, it has gradually begun affecting children as well.
When an excessive amount of fat accumulates in the liver of those who do not even consume alcohol, it is known as pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
From sedentary lifestyle choices to the consumption of highly processed food, or food with high sugar content, there are several contributors that can cause NAFLD.
Let’s take a deep dive to unlock the symptoms of the disease to help you understand more about it.
Those experiencing mild to high discomfort in the upper right side of their abdomen should be careful as it may be an early sign of liver disease.
It is highly likely that one can experience their daily routine getting hampered as fatty liver disease brings unexplained tiredness and weakness with itself.
Often found yourself itching your hands, neck, chest, and different body parts? Well, it could be because your body has a lot of fat accumulated in your liver.
While in the early stage, there are no major symptoms, those with fatty liver may have cirrhosis. Weight loss and loss of appetite are also a sign of fatty liver disease.
A swollen stomach could be ascites, one of the signs of fatty liver disease. Besides stomach swelling, a little bulge on your body parts like hands, legs, and breasts is also a warning sign.
