Fatty Liver at 35: A Silent Warning from a Routine Check-up

  • Fatty liver disease often progresses silently, with early stages (1 and 2) typically showing no noticeable symptoms.
  • Many urban professionals are diagnosed with fatty liver during routine check-ups, like Siya, a 35-year-old who discovered Stage 1 fatty liver after a holiday.
  • Risk factors include excess weight, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, regular alcohol use, and reduced physical activity.
  • Early detection of fatty liver allows for reversal through lifestyle changes such as reduced alcohol intake, balanced diet, and regular exercise.
  • Doctors stress that consistent attention to lifestyle is crucial for long-term liver health, as the liver is robust but needs care.

Why It Matters: Fatty liver silently affects healthy adults; early detection and lifestyle changes are critical.
