Fatty liver, also known as steatosis, is accumulation of fat in liver cells. Although the fat in the liver usually poses no harm, it can lead to inflammation of the liver (steatohepatitis). Fatty liver usually occurs with heavy alcohol consumption, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and poor diet. Certain drugs such as corticosteroids can also induce fatty liver.

Pathophysiology
Exact mechanism is unknown.
Reversible

Defects in uptake, metabolism, or secretion of lipids in liver.
Histopathology
Presence of numerous large lipid vacuoles that compress and displace nucleus to the periphery of cells.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
