Is fatty liver serious?

Fatty liver can range from mild fat accumulation to severe inflammation and liver scarring. Many people have no symptoms initially, but some may develop steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver failure over time. The risk is higher in patients with obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. Regular monitoring helps detect progression early.
