What is hepatic steatosis

Fatty liver disease is a real degeneration of the liver, caused by the accumulation of triglycerides in the hepatocytes.

In general, hepatic steatosis is reversible thanks to diet and drug therapy; however, in a percentage of 5-10% of cases it can evolve into liver cirrhosis, especially if the subject abuses alcohol.
