Fatty Liver Treatment in Mumbai – Dr. Chetan Kalal, Hepatologist
🔥Fatty liver disease is one of the most common liver conditions today, often detected incidentally during ultrasound or routine blood tests. While early-stage fatty liver may not cause symptoms, it can progress to inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and long-term liver damage if not addressed in time.
Dr. Chetan Kalal, hepatologist in Mumbai, provides evaluation and management of fatty liver disease, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Patients consult him for accurate diagnosis, risk assessment, and structured treatment plans aimed at preventing disease progression.
🔍 WHAT IS FATTY LIVER DISEASE?
Fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat accumulates in liver cells. It is commonly associated with:
Obesity
Diabetes
High cholesterol
Sedentary lifestyle
Alcohol consumption
There are two main types:
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Alcohol-Related Fatty Liver Disease
In some patients, fatty liver progresses to inflammation (NASH), which can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis.
⚠️ SYMPTOMS OF FATTY LIVER
Most patients have no symptoms in early stages. However, some may experience:
Fatigue or low energy
Mild discomfort in the right upper abdomen
Unexplained weight gain
Abnormal liver function tests (SGPT, SGOT)
Fatty liver detected on ultrasound
Advanced disease may show:
Jaundice
Abdominal swelling
Weakness and loss of appetite
🧪 HOW IS FATTY LIVER DIAGNOSED?
Dr. Chetan Kalal evaluates fatty liver using a combination of:
Liver Function Tests (LFT)
Ultrasound Abdomen
FibroScan (liver stiffness measurement)
Blood markers for metabolic risk
Clinical history (diet, alcohol, lifestyle)
The goal is not just to detect fat, but to assess severity and risk of progression.
📊 STAGES OF FATTY LIVER
Understanding the stage is critical:
Simple fatty liver (steatosis) – fat accumulation without damage
NASH (inflammation) – liver inflammation begins
Fibrosis – early scarring
Cirrhosis – advanced irreversible damage
👉 Early detection can prevent progression.
