Overview

• Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist with over 500,000 TikTok followers, outlines eight warning signs of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a viral video.
• NAFLD is a progressive condition caused by fat accumulation in the liver, often linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome, according to NHS guidance.
• Key symptoms include abdominal weight gain, persistent fatigue, upper-right abdominal pain, high blood sugar, jaundice, and easy bruising, among others.
• The disease progresses through four stages: steatosis, NASH (inflammation), fibrosis (scarring), and cirrhosis, which can lead to liver failure and cancer if untreated.
• Medical authorities stress the importance of early detection and lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and exercise, to halt or reverse disease progression.
