– These are the symptoms of fatty liver
Increased blood pressure, bloating, fatigue or high cholesterol level are just some of the indicators that can show us two things: that the liver is overloaded and that there is lipid metabolism disorder.
Liver is one of the most important organs in our body. It plays a significant role in breaking down fats, in maintaining normal blood sugar level, the production of enzymes and retention of important vitamins, minerals and glycogen. No other vital organ can replace the liver.
The minimum amount of fat does not have negative impact on your health. On the other hand, if makes up more than 5-10% fat of the liver’s weight, it means that you suffer from fatty liver disease. This disease can also occur as a result of alcoholism.
SYMPTOMS:
This disease is often named a “silent disease” because the symptoms are hardly visible. In most of the cases, becomes noticeable after a year. If it comes to the development of the disease, you can get atypical symptoms, such as:

Also, a pain can appear in the central and upper part of the abdomen, dark stains on the skin (most often in the upper part of the hands), as well as enlarged liver, which can be seen on ultrasound.
In alcoholics these symptoms are worsening if they continue with the consumption of alcohol. Fatty liver can be detected, or even prevented in persons who do not consume alcohol.
