What Causes Cirrhosis of the Liver

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

In recent years, the number of people with metabolic syndrome and obesity is growing fast, making NAFL disease [4] become the most common cause of chronic liver disease and one of leading causes of cirrhosis over the world. NAFL disease is an abnormality in the body that is due to the accumulation of fat in the liver due to high cholesterol and sometimes diabetes. This disease does not usually cause symptoms and, most of the time, it is discovered by chance. Some people may, however, experience nausea, upper right abdomen pain, fatigue and malaise.

This disease can result in liver cirrhosis due to the chronic inflammation that the accumulation of fat causes, so it is very common in people with obesity. A good treatment option for this disease is liver transplant.

As a result, it’s vital to live a healthy diet and keep a healthy weight. Proper exercise also can help a lot.
