What causes fatty liver and its progression to higher grades?

The primary causes are often related to lifestyle and metabolic conditions:

• Unhealthy Diet: Diets high in refined sugars, saturated fats, and processed foods are major contributors.
• Obesity and Overweight: Excess body weight, particularly around the abdomen, is a significant risk factor.
• Insulin Resistance and Diabetes: These conditions can disrupt the body’s fat metabolism, leading to fat accumulation in the liver.
• High Cholesterol and Triglycerides: Abnormal lipid levels in the blood are closely linked to fatty liver.
• Excessive Alcohol Consumption: This is a leading cause of a specific type of fatty liver disease (alcoholic fatty liver disease)
