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.
Cauda Equina Syndrome
Cauda equina syndrome is a serious condition caused by compression of lower spinal nerves.

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.
Cauda Equina Syndrome
Diagnosis requires urgent imaging and neurological evaluation.

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.
Cauda Equina Syndrome
Early treatment of spinal disorders 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.
Cauda Equina Syndrome
Spinal disorders and trauma increase risk.
