Hidden signs of fatty liver disease were revealed

Scientists from the Institute of Medical Research report the detection of subtle signs of fatty liver disease in a significant number of patients. Fatty liver disease is a serious medical condition that can lead to complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.

Fatty liver disease was previously thought to be a problem mainly for people who were obese or drank too much alcohol. However, research conducted in recent years has found that this disease can affect a wide spectrum of the population, including those with a normal body weight.

One of the risk factors for developing fatty liver disease is a poor diet, including high amounts of sugar and saturated fat in the diet. Many of the foods we consume on a daily basis are high in sugars and artificial additives, which can contribute to the development of this disease.

According to research, about 25% of the world's population has fatty liver disease, but most cases remain undiagnosed due to the lack of pronounced symptoms in the early stages of the disease. This makes this problem even more serious as it can progress without proper treatment.

The next step for scientists is to develop more accurate methods of diagnosing fatty liver disease and to develop effective strategies for the treatment and prevention of this disease. Until then, it's important to focus on a healthy lifestyle, reducing your sugar and saturated fat intake, and getting regular medical check-ups for early detection of liver problems.
