10 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Symptoms
Symptom #6: Ascites
Ascites is the technical medical term for an abdomen that has become swollen by fluids. It is caused by the build-up of fluids in the peritoneal cavity, which is where our digestive organs are found. It can be caused by numerous factors, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Ascites will generally go away by itself once the cause has been treated, although it might sometimes be necessary for the fluid to be drained from the body. If you do have ascites and you suddenly developed pain in the area and/or a fever then you should treat it as a medical emergency.
