My doctor has told me I have a fatty liver and wants to perform a biopsy. What is a fatty liver?

A fatty liver is a condition where the liver is filled with fat, which can be caused by obesity, alcohol consumption, diabetes, or other health conditions. The liver is an important organ that helps your body process food, toxins, and medications. Fatty liver can cause symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, and nausea. It can also lead to cirrhosis, which is when the liver becomes scarred and unable to function properly.
