10. No Symptoms
Fatty liver disease doesn’t always present with symptoms. Many people find they don’t experience any signs of the condition until the fat reaches 5 to 10 percent of the liver’s weight. At this point, the damage may be permanent with scarring on the liver.
Individuals concerned about developing fatty liver disease should speak with their doctor. The condition is common and can often be resolved by reducing a person’s weight and improving diet.
