Fatty liver disease, also known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, is on the rise, especially in Western countries. This condition, often unnoticed at first, can develop into serious complications if not detected in time. Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a renowned Harvard-educated gastroenterologist, uses his contacts to warn about the early signs of this often overlooked disease.

- Overweight
- Unbalanced diet
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Type 2 diabetes
