Fatty liver disease develops when the body produces too much fat or doesn’t metabolise fat efficiently enough. The excess fat is stored in liver cells, where it accumulates and causes fatty liver disease. Approximately 25 percent of adults in the Western world have fatty liver and are thus at an increased risk of developing cirrhosis, liver cancer, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Experiencing either chronic fatigue or pain in the right shoulder could indicate you’re at risk of the condition.
