Fatty degeneration of the liver and available treatment options for the ailment

Abstract EN

Fatty liver disease (FLD) leading to fatty degeneration of liver and its complications are emerging as one of the prevalent hepatic disorders, worldwide, affecting all age groups and genders.

About one billion people are suffering from the disease worldwide.

With the change in lifestyle from active to sedentary, the incidence of fatty liver disease has increased in the past few decades.

Fatty liver disease occurs mainly due to accumulation of fat including triglycerides in the liver.

The aim of this review is to find currently available treatment options and approaches.

The present review of the literature revealed that proper treatment is yet to be found and at present, reduction of weight, oxidative stress, fat and glucose metabolism are being targeted regarding the disease.

Some studies have shown that even after accumulation of fat, changes can be revised to normal; these studies have found positive results with the use of herbals like Allium Sativum (Garlic), Olea Europaea (Olive), and Nigella Sativa (Black Seed).
