Fatty liver is a condition where Triglycerides (a fat component) accumulates in the liver cells. It is a reversible condition. Fatty liver can arise out of excessive alcohol consumption or it may be nonalcoholic (as in obese and diabetics). Certain drugs may also cause it.
Grade 2 fatty liver is mainly a finding on USG, where the liver as a whole looks whiter. It is reversible. The fat deposits in the liver cause inflammatory changes and if allowed to progress, may cause hepatocellular injury, and lead to chronic liver disease.
The best way to deal with this problem, is to cut down on alcohol intake (if you take it), gradual weight reduction (if you are obese), reduce intake of fat and refined carbohydrates and avoid carbonated beverage. It is advisable to include roughage in your diet. You may also go for a liver function test and viral serology. In case they are deranged or abnormal, you should consult your gatstroenterologist.
