Study Notes
Fatty Liver Disease
- Characterized by large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulating in liver cells
- Reversible condition
Hepatitis
- Not exclusively caused by viral infections
Alcoholic Liver Disease
- Caused by alcohol overconsumption, not a parasitic infection of the liver
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
- Associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome
Hereditary Liver Diseases
- Examples include hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, and glycogen storage disease type II
- Cause damage to the liver
Liver Diseases
- Do not always have distinct features, making differentiation challenging
