What is fatty liver—and why does it matter in Mumbai?

Fatty liver occurs when more than 10% of the liver’s weight is fat, leading to potential inflammation (steatohepatitis), fibrosis, or cirrhosis. In a bustling city like Mumbai, lifestyle factors—unhealthy diets, sedentary routines, high stress, and alcohol consumption—have prompted more cases of both NAFLD and alcoholic liver disease. Mumbai residents with obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol are particularly at risk .

Understanding the two main types

Non‑alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Treating NAFLD/NASH involves:

  1. Weight loss, especially through diet and exercise.
  2. Controlling diabetes, cholesterol, and hypertension.
  3. Limiting sugar and refined carbs, emphasising a Mediterranean-style diet.
  4. Avoiding alcohol entirely.

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (ASH)

Repeated heavy drinking causes the liver to break down alcohol, generating toxic byproducts that inflame and damage liver cells. If not addressed, ASH can progress to alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. At Globus Hospital, Dr. Karvir emphasises one thing: stop alcohol completely—it’s essential for recovery.
