Grade Two: More fat buildup, plus some inflammation and potential tissue damage. This is when liver enzymes might start to show changes.
Grade Three: Severe fat buildup, significant inflammation, and likely tissue damage.
If fatty liver progresses, it can develop into NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis), which involves inflammation and tissue damage. From there, it can unfortunately lead to cirrhosis and even liver cancer. The good news is that fatty liver is closely linked to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and it’s reversible, especially when caught early.
