UNRAVELING THE ENIGMA: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE - CLINICAL, BIOCHEMICAL, SEROLOGICAL, AND RADIOLOGICAL INSIGHTS

Nitin Gupta , Assistant Professor, Department of Gastroenterology, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun, India

Abstract

Fatty liver disease is a complex and increasingly prevalent medical condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, leading to potential liver dysfunction and long-term health consequences. This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of fatty liver disease by exploring its clinical, biochemical, serological, and radiological aspects. Through a systematic review of existing literature and the examination of patient data, this study delves into the various manifestations and risk factors associated with fatty liver disease. Furthermore, it investigates the interplay between clinical symptoms, biochemical markers, serological indicators, and radiological findings to enhance the understanding and diagnosis of this condition. The results of this research will offer valuable insights for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers in developing effective strategies for early detection, management, and prevention of fatty liver disease.
