 ====== Liver steatosis ======
-**Hepatic steatosis**, also known as **fatty liver disease**, refers to abnormal accumulation of fat within hepatocytes, most commonly manifesting as **non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)**.[[https://ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.11.7838|AJR Am J Roentgenol 2012]]
+**Hepatic steatosis**, also known as **fatty liver disease**, refers to abnormal accumulation of fat within hepatocytes, most commonly manifesting as **non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)**.
 ===== Epidemiology =====
-Hepatic steatosis affects up to 30% of the general population in Western countries, with rising prevalence linked to obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.[[https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/radiol.2021204288|Radiology 2021]] Prevalence exceeds 70% in patients with type 2 diabetes and reaches 90% in those undergoing bariatric surgery.

 ===== Clinical presentation =====
-Most cases remain asymptomatic and are detected incidentally on ultrasound or other imaging.[[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4064084/|World J Gastroenterol 2014]] Symptomatic patients may report right upper quadrant discomfort, fatigue, or elevated liver enzymes.

 ===== Pathology =====
-Steatosis results from impaired fat metabolism, with triglycerides accumulating in >5% of hepatocytes.[[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0720048X06004451|Eur J Radiol 2007]] Macrovesicular steatosis predominates, featuring a single large cytoplasmic fat droplet displacing the nucleus.

 ===== Treatment and prognosis =====
-Management targets underlying causes (weight loss, diabetes control).[[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4064084/|World J Gastroenterol 2014]] Steatosis alone carries excellent prognosis without fibrosis; NASH risks progression to cirrhosis (20-30%).
