Fatty Liver
You are not crazy, and it is not "just aging." Standard blood work misses metabolic dysfunction. Discover the biological root causes of your fatty liver and how our functional labs find what others miss.
"Clinical fatty liver (NAFLD) is defined as excess fat accumulation in liver cells exceeding 5-10% of liver weight, occurring in the absence of significant alcohol consumption. It is a primary warning sign of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and systemic cellular dysfunction."
What is Fatty Liver?
Fatty liver (NAFLD) is defined as excess fat accumulation in liver cells (hepatocytes), exceeding 5-10% of liver weight. It ranges from simple steatosis (fat accumulation without inflammation) to NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) which includes inflammation and liver cell damage. Clinical fatty liver is a primary warning sign of metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation that requires comprehensive investigation.
