What is the difference between stages of fatty liver: How to reverse them

Fatty liver disease, or hepatic steatosis, simply means too much fat has accumulated in liver cells. But this isn’t always harmless.

Grade 1 fatty liver is the milder form, discovered incidentally during health check-ups. The liver still functions fairly well, and inflammation is usually minimal or absent. Many believe this stage doesn’t need medical attention, but that’s only half the truth.

Grade 2 fatty liver, on the other hand, is a sign that the problem has progressed. There’s more fat, some inflammation, and the risk of liver cell damage begins to grow. The liver tries to cope, but quietly starts losing the fight.

Grade 1 isn't always safe, and Grade 2 isn’t just about more fat, it's about the beginning of change in liver structure and function.
