"Fatty syndrome" is not a recognized medical term. It is likely a misnomer or a colloquial term used to describe fatty liver disease.
Fatty liver disease is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver. It can be caused by factors like:
- Heavy alcohol consumption: This is called alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- Obesity, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure: This is called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
In both cases, the excess fat can damage the liver and lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
