Medically known as steatohepatitis, fatty liver disease is a condition in which there is an excessive amount of fat in the liver, the body's largest internal organ. The condition can be caused by alcohol consumption and by other factors such as obesity, elevated blood glucose, and elevated triglycerides. Fatty liver disease affects roughly twenty-five percent of the world's population, and the incidence of the disease is increasing with the current obesity epidemic.
