Steatosis, also known as fatty liver, is a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver. It is a common disorder in hepatology, and is often associated with obesity, diabetes, and alcohol consumption. It can also be caused by certain medications, such as corticosteroids, and can be a side effect of rapid weight loss. Symptoms of steatosis include fatigue, abdominal pain, and jaundice. In severe cases, it can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure.
Treatment for steatosis typically involves lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, exercise, and reducing alcohol consumption. In some cases, medications may be prescribed to reduce fat accumulation in the liver.
Companies in the steatosis market include Gilead Sciences, AbbVie, Merck, Novartis, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Show Less Read more
