fatty liver can be serious.  it can occur from a history of alcohol use or it can be a consequence of diabetes and/or obesity with altered lipid/fatty acid metabolism in the liver.  the latter versions not associated with alcohol are often referred to as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and it is now being found as a more common cause of cirrhosis than previously thought.  cirrhosis is associated with a number of medical problems... portal hypertension(esophageal varices), ascites(fluid backup into the abdomen), decreased clotting factors, decreased protein levels in your blood(leading to edema and swelling b/c the fluid doesn't stay in vessels).   most cases of NASH DO NOT result in cirrhosis, but it IS a risk factor.  the best therapy is weight loss and avoidance of alcohol... if u do that, u should be fine.

Definition: \nLiver spots are flat brown-black spots that usually occur in sun-exposed areas of the body. They are also called age spots. They are unrelated to the liver or liver function.\n \nAlternative Names: \nSun-induced skin changes - liver spots; Senile or solar lentigines; Skin spots - aging; Age spots  \nCauses, incidence, and risk factors: \nLiver spots are changes in skin color associated with older skin. The increased pigmentation may be brought on by aging, exposure to sun or other forms of ultraviolet light, or other unknown causes.\n\nLiver spots are extremely common after the age of 40. They occur most often on the backs of the hands, on the forearms, shoulder, face, and forehead, areas of highest sun exposure.\n\nThey are harmless and painless, but they may affect the cosmetic appearance. Occasionally, liver spots may obscure the diagnosis of skin cancers.\n \nSymptoms: \nThe main symptom is a skin lesion that is a painless, flat patch or macule (area of skin color change):\n\n\nUsual color: light brown to black \nUsual location: hands, arms, or forehead\n \nSigns and tests: \nA diagnosis is based on the appearance of the skin, especially if the patient is over 40 and has had a lot of sun exposure over the years.\n \nTreatment: \nNo treatment is needed in most cases. The cosmetic appearance of your skin may be improved by the use of skin bleaching lotions or creams. Cryotherapy (freezing) or laser treatment may be recommended to destroy the liver spots.\n \nExpectations (prognosis): \nLiver spots are not medically dangerous. They are permanent skin changes that may affect the cosmetic appearance of the skin.\n \nComplications: \nA possible complication is emotional distress from the appearance of the liver spots.\n \nCalling your health care provider: \nCall for an appointment with your health care provider if liver spots are present and removal is desired, or if any new symptoms develop, particularly changes in the appearance of any skin lesion.\n \nPrevention: \nProtect your skin from the sun by taking the following precautions:\n\nWear protective clothing such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, long skirts, or pants. \nUse sunglasses to protect the eyes. \nSunlight is most intense at midday, so try to avoid exposure during these hours. \nUse high quality sunscreens, preferably with SPF (sun protection factor) ratings of at least 15. Apply sunscreen at least a half hour before exposure, and reapply frequently. Use sunscreen in the winter, too.

Hi There\n\nDo a cleanse and you'l be on your way to better health.\n\nQ. Why is a liver cleanse so important?\n\nA. Doing a colon cleanse and a liver/gallbladder cleanse are two very important things if you want to cure yourself of disease. It is important to know that the liver is the major fat burning organ in the body. The liver is the only organ that can pump fat out of the body, and the liver is the filter and cleanser of the bloodstream. Every single person, in my opinion, has a sluggish liver. If your liver is sluggish you cannot burn fat properly, you cannot get fat out of the body properly, and you cannot filter and clean your blood properly. Therefore, if you have a sluggish liver you are absolutely guaranteeing yourself illness and disease. Your liver is sluggish because of all the chemicals and toxins in the food that you eat, and all the nonprescription and prescription drugs. Most notably, if you are on cholesterol-reducing drugs, you absolutely have a sluggish liver. If you have ever taken an antibiotic in your life, the antibiotic has killed the friendly flora in your intestine, causing a Candida yeast overgrowth, which always goes and attacks the liver. When you do a liver cleanse, almost everyone feels so much better they can't believe the difference. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

OMG, my good friend is going through the exact same thing, however she went to a specialist for her "weight gain" issue in San Diego, Ca.  She now has a rare fatty liver  disease.  They took a bunch of blood work and that is what they found.  She keeps gaining weight a few pounds a month over a 9 month period, bad head aches, no energy, the tingling in her hands and slept all the time.  The local doctors here did not find it.  The specialist told her that it is because the doctors were only looking for certain things and the test he ran checked for everything.  You might want to find a specialist in your area.

Lipomas are benign, slow-growing tumors that come from fat cells. They are not cancer. They are usually round, moveable, flattened lumps under the skin. They feel soft and doughy or rubbery. Lipomas usually grow in the neck, shoulders, back, or arms. They can occur at any age, but they often appear when you're between 40 and 60 years of age. Sometimes they run in families. Sometimes they are caused by an injury. Most lipomas\ndo not hurt unless they are squeezed or bruised.\n\nBecause lipomas are almost always benign (not cancer), they usually do not need treatment. If they are painful or are growing quickly, you may want to have treatment. Treatment options include steroid shots, liposuction, or surgery. Your doctor can help you decide what is best for you.\n\nAs always, check with your doctor to make sure it is a lipoma and to discuss treatment.

Cirrhosis is defined as diffuse fibrosis of the hepathocyts and is a chronic and permanent damage  of the liver cells. Liver is the central laboratory of the human body and is responsible for metabolism of many molecules: carbohydrates, lipids and nitrogen containing compounds. Liver is also a place of syntheses of many protein such as albumin, coagulation factors transport proteins, proteins of the acute phase and enzymes. Thus, the cirrhosis being the loss of functional liver tissue results in dis function and change in many methabolicall pathways including proteins.

5. Water Intake -- From the standpoint of water intake and fat loss, you want to be in a position where the liver is converting stored fat to energy. The liver has other functions, but this is one of its main jobs. Unfortunately, another of the liver’s duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which need plenty of water to work properly (more than most people realize). \nIf the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do the work of the kidneys along with its own (lowering its total productivity in the process). The liver then can’t metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently. If you allow this to happen, you’re setting yourself up to store fat because you've made the liver less efficient at turning stored body fat to energy. \n\nUsually if you multiply .55 times your weight, that should be enough in ounces of water to suffice. Water is the under rated fat loss tool.

The liver is located in the Right upper quadrant of the abdomen and it shares that space with the gall bladder. If injury occurs in that area the liver will be affected the most since it carries a lot of blood through it and is a solid organ. The gall bladder is a hollow not a prone to injury and can even be removed and life is still sustainable whereas if a liver is lacerated it is life threating
