Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the build up of extra fat in liver cells that is not caused by alcohol. It is normal for the liver to contain some fat, however, if more than 5-10% of the liver’s weight is fat, then it is called a fatty liver (steatosis). You are considered to be at a higher risk for developing fatty liver disease if you have one or more of the following risk factors:
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Hypertension
- High Cholesterol
- BMI > 30
- Of Hispanic Ethnicity
- Post-menopausal females
- Obesity
Affects 1 in 3 adults over the age of 50.
Affects 25% of adults worldwide, and more than half of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Is the #1 reason for liver transplant in women, and 2nd most common reason in men, only second to alcohol use.
Has no symptoms and is considered a "silent" disease.

Juliana was the absolute best! Her knowledge and professionalism made my mothers experience very pleasant. My mother had been having issues about receiving payments so I went with her in person to try and resolve the issue. After speaking with Juliana, everything was taken care of expeditiously!
