Evaluation and Monitoring of Fatty Liver Disease
Fatty liver disease is common and often silent in its early stages. For patients who have already been diagnosed or found to have abnormal liver tests, structured evaluation and ongoing monitoring are critical to understanding progression risk.
Early detection, accurate risk assessment, and long-term management are essential. At Shaya Digestive & Liver Clinic, Fatty Liver care is centered on slowing progression, preventing complications, and supporting overall metabolic health.
Fatty liver disease occurs when extra fat builds up inside the liver. In many people, this develops gradually and causes no clear symptoms at first. It’s often discovered during routine blood work or imaging done for another reason.
However, many patients are told they have fatty liver but aren’t given a clear plan. In reality, managing fatty liver disease requires answering three key questions:
Blood tests alone do not always tell the full story. Some patients with normal liver enzymes may still have meaningful changes in the liver. That’s why more precise tools, such as non-invasive liver scanning (FibroScan®).
When appropriate, we offer in-office FibroScan® testing to assess liver stiffness and fat content without invasive procedures.
This non-invasive, ultrasound-based study helps evaluate liver scarring (fibrosis) and fatty changes. The test is quick, painless, and performed in the office, allowing results to be reviewed and discussed as part of your care plan, often without the need for biopsy.
Fatty liver disease spans a broad range of severity: from early, reversible fat accumulation to forms with significant inflammation and fibrosis. Because this condition is often silent and intertwined with metabolic health, it requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
