This process is not merely an accumulation of scar tissue but a profound and often irreversible distortion of the liver’s microarchitecture, which fundamentally compromises its vast […]
Hepatic steatosis, commonly referred to as fatty liver disease (FLD), is a pathological condition defined by the excessive accumulation of lipids, predominantly triglycerides, within the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. Conventionally, a hepatic lipid content exceeding 5% of the total liver weight is considered abnormal and indicative of steatosis. Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ALD), also increasingly termed Alcohol-Associated […]
