Fat deposition to the liver

A fatty liver is the build-up of fat cells in the liver.

Fat is primarily metabolized from an overconsumption of sugars and alcohol in our diet.

The fat is stored in various locations in our body, including the liver.

If you have an overall liver fat percentage of below 5 percent your liver is considered normal in terms of fat content.

A person has a fatty liver when fat makes up more than 5 percent the liver tissue.

Fatty liver can lead to hepatitis fibrosis, scarring, and eventually cirrhosis.
