General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Fatty liver (FL) is commonly associated with alcohol or metabolic syndrome (diabetes, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia), but can also be due to any one of many causes[2][3]:
Metabolic
Abetalipoproteinemia, glycogen storage diseases, Weber-Christian disease lipodystrophy
Nutritional
Malnutrition, total parenteral nutrition, severe weight loss, refeeding syndrome, jejunoileal bypass, gastric bypass, jejunal diverticulosis with bacterial overgrowth
Drugs and toxins
Amiodarone, methotrexate, diltiazem, expired tetracycline, highly active antiretroviral therapy, glucocorticoids, tamoxifen, environmental hepatotoxins (e.g., phosphorus, mushroom poisoning)
Other
Inflammatory bowel disease, HIV, hepatitis C (especially genotype 3), and alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Renal calculus with pcs is a seperate problem.The exact cause for this is still unclear.
