However, fatty liver is a progressive disease and it can cause irritation, inflammation, and scarring known as fibrosis. When the fat content of the liver increases up to greater than 5 to 10%, its function can become significantly impaired.
In Ayurveda , Fatty liver can be correlated with yakrutodar roga. In Which two main factors that are impaired digestive fire( agni) and accumulation of toxins play main role in causing the condition. So to balance the vitiated digestive fire, it is very important to follow proper dietary guidelines.
