NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) happens when fat builds up in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol.
It is closely linked to obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and a sedentary lifestyle.
In the early stages, NAFLD usually causes no apparent symptoms.
Some people may feel fatigue, abdominal discomfort, or notice unexplained weight gain.
Doctors often detect it through routine liver function blood tests that show abnormal enzymes.
An ultrasound scan of the abdomen can reveal fat accumulation in the liver.
In some cases, advanced tests like FibroScan, MRI, or liver biopsy are done to confirm severity.
Regular health checkups, especially if you have risk factors, are the best way to know if you have NAFLD.
