Fatty liver means extra fat has built up inside the liver cells. It has become extremely common — often discovered by chance on an ultrasound — and is closely linked with weight, diabetes, and cholesterol. Most people feel nothing at all, which is exactly why it gets ignored. In a portion of patients, however, the fat slowly inflames and scars the liver over years.
Who should get checked?
- Anyone told on ultrasound that they have a “fatty liver” or “Grade I/II/III fat”
- People with diabetes, high cholesterol, or excess weight
- Raised liver tests (ALT/AST) on any blood report
- Ongoing tiredness or vague right-upper-belly heaviness
What happens at the centre
The centre’s on-site ultrasound and laboratory allow the full picture in one visit: how much fat, whether the liver is inflamed, and whether any scarring has begun. Prof. Dr. Sherbat Khan then gives you a clear, realistic plan — targeted at your weight, sugar and cholesterol — and monitors the liver’s recovery over follow-up visits.
The honest good news
Caught early, fatty liver is one of the few liver conditions that can genuinely improve and even reverse. Gradual weight loss, control of sugar and cholesterol, and cutting sugary drinks and excess oil do more for the liver than any single tablet. The doctor’s job is to confirm where you stand and guide you honestly — before silent fat becomes permanent scarring.
