Think liver disease only happens to people who drink heavily?
Think again.
✗ MYTH: “I don’t drink, so my liver is fine.”
✓ FACT: 75% of NAFLD patients do not consume alcohol at all.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is now more common than alcohol-related liver disease in urban India. The real drivers are your diet, your weight, and your metabolic health.
Your liver is at risk if you have:
→ Diabetes or pre-diabetes
→ High triglycerides or cholesterol
→ Overweight or obesity
→ A sedentary lifestyle
→ Family history of liver disease
→ Long-term use of medications like statins, metformin, antitubercular drugs, or NSAIDs
Yes — even common medications can affect your liver enzymes over time. Periodic LFT monitoring is not overcaution. It is responsible healthcare.
