Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) is one cause of a fatty liver , occurring when fat is deposited ( steatosis ) in the liver not due to excessive alcohol use . It is related to insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome and may respond to treatments originally developed for other insulin-resistant states (e.g. diabetes mellitus type 2 ) such as weight loss, metformin and thiazolidinediones . Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ( NASH ) is the most extreme form of NAFLD this being regarded as a major cause of cirrhosis of the liver of unknown cause.
