Fatty liver treatment in Mumbai is now within your reach at Globus Hospital, under the expert care of Dr. Vedant Karvir. Located in Malad West, our gastroenterology centre specialises in diagnosing and treating both nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH). If you’ve been diagnosed with fatty liver or simply want to check if you’re at risk, our team is here to help with compassionate, informed care.
What is fatty liver—and why does it matter in Mumbai?
Fatty liver occurs when more than 10% of the liver’s weight is fat, leading to potential inflammation (steatohepatitis), fibrosis, or cirrhosis. In a bustling city like Mumbai, lifestyle factors—unhealthy diets, sedentary routines, high stress, and alcohol consumption—have prompted more cases of both NAFLD and alcoholic liver disease. Mumbai residents with obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol are particularly at risk .
Understanding the two main types
Non‑alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
- Simple fatty liver: fat accumulates without inflammation; generally harmless.
- Non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH): fat accumulation combined with inflammation, which can cause fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer if not managed.
Treating NAFLD/NASH involves:
- Weight loss, especially through diet and exercise.
- Controlling diabetes, cholesterol, and hypertension.
- Limiting sugar and refined carbs, emphasising a Mediterranean-style diet.
- Avoiding alcohol entirely.
Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (ASH)
Repeated heavy drinking causes the liver to break down alcohol, generating toxic byproducts that inflame and damage liver cells. If not addressed, ASH can progress to alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. At Globus Hospital, Dr. Karvir emphasises one thing: stop alcohol completely—it’s essential for recovery.
How is fatty liver diagnosed?
Fatty liver remains a “silent” disease—most patients feel fine until liver damage is significant. At Globus, diagnosis typically includes:
- A detailed medical and alcohol history.
- Blood tests (SGOT/SGPT) to assess liver function.
- Ultrasound to visualise fat buildup.
- Occasionally, a liver biopsy for more detailed staging.
Early diagnosis at our Malad facility enables treatment before irreversible damage sets in.
