Hepatitis caused by fat is in fact sort of liver inflammation which accompanies fat concentration in liver. This situation can be accompanied by the slight to medium bigness of liver.
Autoimmune diseases, alcohol, medicine poisoning, and iron concentration (C and B)
This situation is not related to other reasons of liver acute diseases such as virus hepatitis in liver.
On the other hand it is different from simple concentration of fat in liver (fatty liver, or liver stantose) because the fatty liver does not progress toward the destruction of liver cells while the hepatitis caused by fat might destroy the liver cells.
This disease might be related to alcoholism, diabetes, high content of blood fats such as cholesterol and triglyceride, fatness, and malnutrition of the people. Fatty liver might occur due to liver toxins such as DDT, swallowing phosphor and tetrachloride carbon or sudden drinking of a lot of alcohol. Otherwise we might not find a reason for it and most of the case belong to the second category.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis caused by alcohol?
The symptoms related to this disease are dependent on the period of time and the degree of concentration of fat and the background reasons. This disease might be without symptom. The liver might have been got a little big and sensitive. The liver tests or clotting tests might be in disorder.
What is hepatitis caused by fat?
This disease s cause and reason has not been identified. Previously the experts thought that the reason is diabetes (increase of sugar content) because a specific reason has not been found for this sort of disease.
Most of these patients have been the middle-aged ladies whose blood sugar content was high. Moreover these patients may have additional fat in their blood (triglyceride or cholesterol) and it is
Moreover most of these patients might suffer from the extra unwanted fat in their blood (triglicride or cholesterol) and maybe they suffer from other disease such as coroner vessels , thyroid diseases or high blood pressure. Recently some cases of this disease have been observed that did not indicate the above-mentioned symptoms and criteria. For example this disease has been observed in some men who have not been fat and dont suffer from high blood pressure. Hepatitis caused by fat in children has been also reported in the children belonging to the group age ranging from 9 to 16 years. Most of these children have been fat and only few of them who have suffered from this disease have also suffered from diabetes.
We dont still know that if the concentration of fat in liver is the reason of inflammation. Maybe there are other reasons for hepatitis. The researchers believe that since liver cannot change fats in such a way that can be disposable it is concentrated in liver.
How to diagnose hepatitis caused from fat?
Most of these patients are unaware of their conditions because they dont have any symptoms. In most cases a slight increase in liver enzymes is observed. Of course maybe there is such an increase in other liver diseases too. For identification of this disease at first the physician must reject the other reasons of chronic liver diseases in the patient.
The final diagnosis is done through slow biopsy of liver, which is a more comfortable and very safe test. In slow biopsy the patient is hospitalized in the hospital for maximum one day and the doctor inserts the special needle into the liver under the local anesthesia and takes a little sample of the liver tissue for microscopic survey.
What is the natural trend or progression of this disease?
In the past the doctors believed that this type of hepatitis is not an acute disease, which progresses. The recent studies and the doctors experiences indicated that hepatitis caused by fat can cause the laziness of liver up to maximum 40 % or it can progress toward the destruction of liver t.
