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.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and body.

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.
Multiple Sclerosis
Diagnosis includes neurological examination, MRI, spinal fluid analysis, and evoked potential tests.

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.
Multiple Sclerosis
Maintaining overall health, adequate vitamin D levels, and regular medical monitoring may help reduce complications.

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.
Multiple Sclerosis
Family history, female gender, vitamin D deficiency, and certain viral infections increase risk.
