Fatty Liver Disease in a nutshell
Our solutions are designed to overcome the challenge of Fatty Liver Disease.
A ticking bomb that doesn’t tick.
The biggest challenge with Fatty Liver Disease is that it is hidden and people are typically unaware they have it. Since our livers have no nerves we don’t “feel it”. Therefore you only develop ‘symptoms’, or more accurately severe complications, when you are at the end-stage, called Cirrhosis.
Most people have lived with the disease for 15-30 years before reaching the end-stage.
Stores fat for days of scarcity.
A core evolutionary trait of the liver is to store fat to be available to us when food is scarce as a life-saving device. Unfortunately, more recent trends of obesity, type 2-diabetes and extensive alcohol intake have turned this life-saving ability into a serious and growing challenge.
In contrast with other organs, our livers store fat inside its cells (hepatocytes). Fat build-up in the liver eventually causes ballooning and liver cells burst. This kick-starts the stages of Fatty Liver Disease including inflammation (NASH), liver scarring (fibrosis) and finally fatal Cirrhosis.
500 vital functions we cannot live without.
There is little public awareness about the liver and it is rarely a part of our general concern for health and wellbeing – a huge mistake! The liver is one of the most important organs since its core job is to control digestion, blood glucose levels, production of proteins, clotting factors in the blood, control of the immune system, detoxification of drugs and alcohol, energy storage, control of cholesterol levels and production of bile for digestion.
The liver affects all other organs in the human body. Without it, our brain goes into a coma, our kidneys shut down, our intestines swell, our heart pumps poorly and our lungs won’t give enough oxygen to our blood. We cannot live without a liver.
The complications are fatal.
At end-stage Cirrhosis, your liver is mainly scar tissue - a stiff lump with little-to-no functionality. This state has critical implications for your body’s ability to stay alive with the most common complications being:
ascites – a progressive accumulation of fluid in the abdomen
variceal bleeding – an acute rupture of varicose veins along the esophagus, often with severe blood loss and fatal outcomes
hepatic encephalopathy (liver coma) – when the liver fails to remove ammonia from the bloodstream leaving a person in a comatose condition
