Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Fatty liver is due to deposition of fat within the liver cells.
There are many conditions associated with fatty liver like Obesity, Diabetes mellitus, Metabolic disorders etc.
Fatty liver is reversible condition and it can be controlled by increasing physical activity, drugs etc.
You should avoid saturated fat and fried food. You also do walking, exercise.
