Overview

Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty Liver Disease occurs when excess fat accumulates inside liver cells. In Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), fat builds up in the liver without significant alcohol consumption. The condition may remain silent for years but can progress to liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver failure if left untreated. Fatty liver is strongly associated with obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome.

Alzheimer Disease

Alzheimer disease is a progressive brain disorder that gradually destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to perform everyday tasks.

Diagnosis

Fatty Liver Disease

Diagnosis may include liver function tests (LFT), ultrasound, FibroScan, CT scan, MRI, blood sugar tests, lipid profile, and in selected cases liver biopsy. Early diagnosis helps prevent disease progression.

Alzheimer Disease

Diagnosis involves cognitive testing, neurological evaluation, brain imaging, and laboratory assessments.

Prevention

Fatty Liver Disease

Maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, manage diabetes and cholesterol, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, eat a balanced diet, and undergo regular medical checkups to prevent fatty liver disease and its complications.

Alzheimer Disease

Maintaining brain activity, regular exercise, healthy diet, and managing cardiovascular risk factors may help reduce risk.

Risk Factors

Fatty Liver Disease

Risk factors include obesity, abdominal fat accumulation, diabetes, hypertension, high triglycerides, family history of liver disease, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and advancing age.

Alzheimer Disease

Advanced age, family history, cardiovascular disease, and genetic factors increase risk.
