Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Showcase

This animation demonstrates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which is the most common form of liver disease caused by obesity and diabetes. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the accumulation of fat in the liver cells also known as steatosis. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) causes inflammation and damage to liver cells that may lead to scarring or fibrosis. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a silent condition that does not show symptoms until the patient develops advanced liver disease, Cirrhosis. Diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can be by ultrasound or blood test but ultimately a specialized liver biopsy is needed. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be reversed by weight loss. This video illustration exhibits ground-breaking technology that can be used for marketing and education.
