Fatty liver disease symptoms, causes and prevention

What is Fatty liver?

One specific liver disease is fatty liver. In simple words, the accumulation of fat inside the liver is called fatty liver disease. This disease is mainly of two types – alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver. Drinking alcohol damages the liver. In this case, fat accumulates in the liver. This problem is called alcoholic fatty liver disease. On the other hand, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is not caused by alcohol. In such a situation, lifestyle and eating habits are causing this problem.

Earlier it was thought that this problem is more due to the consumption of alcohol. However, as the current lifestyle reflects, the number of people with non-alcoholic fatty liver is increasing as compared to alcoholic fatty liver.

Why is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease on the rise?

Our way of life is at the heart of the problem. From morning till night we work non-stop. There is no time interval. And at the moment there are only hands on the computer. No physical exertion. Meanwhile, the less said about the food, the better. We only eat so much fast food now. Read More

Also to add to the list is Transplant patients!

Do you guys know why I’m so adamant about you vaccinating your kids?

I’m immunocomprimised. It means my immune system is weakened. I have very weak lungs and I rely on herd immunity to stay safe.

I’m allergic to the shot people get for whooping cough. How do I know? I had a 3 week, painful reaction. Now, this was a while ago, before shit hit the fan with the whole anti-vax movement.

But do you know what my doctor told me? It was safer for me to get the shot that I’m ALLERGIC TO than rely on herd immunity because if I get the shot, I’ll be in moderate-severe pain for about 3 weeks max. If I get the disease, I will die. My lung capacity is bad enough, but my body is too weak to fight the disease.

So not only are you putting your child’s life at risk by not vaccinating them, you’re putting mine and all the other people who cannot be vaccinated at risk because of a selfish decision that isn’t backed by science.

Khyry has what is called, Biliary Atresia. BA is a rare life-long and life-threatening childhood liver disease that affects 1 in 16,000-20,000 infants shortly after birth. There is no known cause and no cure. This is not a hereditary disease. In order for infants to survive they must undergo a life-saving operation called the Kasai Procedure shortly after diagnosis, to avoid the immediate need for a liver transplant. 30% of the Kasai Procedure's surgeries are successful for the rest of the patients life, some are successful for awhile then eventually it stops working and then the need for a liver transplant is unavoidable and some never work. Even with a liver transplant, it is not a cure for BA, because it to, brings its own life-long problems. Those diagnosed with this disease will be in and out of hospitals all their lives having operations, procedures, tests and scans to monitor their disease and ultimately keep them alive. I have laid my daughter in a surgeon's arms, I have listened to the beeping of machines and been thankful, I have smiled through the tears and I have found strength when there wasn't any left. Khyry had a rough start in life but she is such a strong little girl and I couldn't be more proud to be her mom. #KhyryRhys #mine #biliaryatresiaawareness 💗 (at Moanalua Kaiser Hospital)
