How do you know if you have fatty liver disease, which is known as hepatic steatosis? It is normal for some fat to build in the liver, but having excess fat is dangerous and that results in fatty liver disease. You need your liver to process nutrients from what you eat and drink and it also filters out anything harmful from your blood. When there is too much fat, it can lead to inflammation of the liver which eventually leads to scarring, hence, cirrhosis or liver failure.
