One of the liver’s main functions is processing fats from food into forms that can be stored and used in the organism. The oily liver, or technically called fatty liver disease, is a disorder in which there is excessive accommodation of neutral fats (triglycerides – one of the forms of fat used for energy and the formation of new cells) inside liver cells. Normally, the liver tissue contains a certain amount of fat, but if the percentage of fat exceeds 5% of the total weight of the organ, talking about fatty liver, it can lead to more serious complications.
Liver steatosis occurs as a consequence of imbalanced breakdown of fat. Usually, liver mildly or moderately increases because of that.
Disruption may be temporary or long lasting. This state of fatty liver can often be a result of a disturbance in the functioning of the organism, and if neglected and not treated, it is considered as a risk factor for the occurrence of other diseases (liver cancer). Liver steatosis can often be undetected for a long time. In the most severe cases, the liver can be increased up to three times its normal size and became painful and sensitive to touch.
The best way to reduce the risk of fatty liver is the achievement of a normal body weight and normal triglyceride levels, and taking control over the intake of alcohol and other harmful substances.
