Hi,
Any word about why you have a fatty liver? Any idea? I'm breaking my brain trying to understand why this is happening. I hope we get answers soon.

Hi @solaviera. Welcome to Mayo Connect. Sometimes fatty liver just happens. I pulled this from Mayo's website:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, often called NAFLD, is a liver problem that affects people who drink little to no alcohol. In NAFLD, too much fat builds up in the liver. It is the most common form of liver disease in the world. A move is currently underway to change the name nonalcoholic fatty liver disease to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

For me, cancer in my liver definitely contributed to the diagnosis. I hope this helps you from continuing to break your brain over this. Others are taking this journey with you. Any other concerns that us patients and caregivers may be able to share our experiences about?
