A Quick & Helpful Guide on Fatty Liver & Fibroscans
At Iowa Diabetes, we offer routine Fibroscans which are a quick and easy way to evaluate the health of your liver! In addition, we also provide educational materials and advice on certain lifestyle modifications that can help prevent or treat fatty liver disease.
What is Fatty Liver Disease?
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs when there is excess fat stored in the liver. There are two different types of NAFLD: simple fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), or simple fatty liver, is a form of fatty liver disease where you have fat in your liver, but there is little to no inflammation or liver cell damage. This type of fatty liver disease does not usually progress to cause liver damage or other complications. NASH is a form of fatty liver disease where you have inflammation of the liver, liver cell damage, and excess fat in the liver. This type of fatty liver disease can cause scarring of the liver which can eventually lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer.
