This animation provides an overview of
fatty liver disease and
hepatocellular carcinoma (
HCC). In the last 20 years, HCC, has become more common. One reason is the increase in a specific risk factor,
fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease is also called
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or a newer term,
metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (
MASLD). As fat buildup from MASLD damages the liver, a more serious condition called
metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (
MASH), can develop. Watch to learn how fat harms your liver, how fatty liver disease starts and progresses, risk factors for MASLD and MASH, symptoms, important examinations and tests, and more.
