ABSTRACT
Fatty liver has become one of the major global health concern worldwide. It is the most common cause of liver related morbidity and mortility in under developed and developing countries. Meda is an important Dhatu of body, which in its natural state, maintains Snigdhata and provides Bala to body. But when the quantity of Meda increases from normal, it causes various structural and functional abnormalities inside body. Excessive Meda deposits in the various parts and organs of body including Yakrita, which impairs the proper function of these organs. The excessive fat deposit inside liver causes fatty liver. Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) can occur at all ages including childhood, though the highest prevalence is described in those between 35– 45 years of age. With some limitations, both population and hospital-based studies from the West report that around 10–24% of general population, and 57–74% of obese individual may have Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The corresponding rates for Non Alcoholic Steato Hepatitis (NASH) are 3–4% and 15–20%, respectively.
