Social media is now full of videos on how to diagnose and manage fatty liver. But these videos, for the most part, are not based on scientific evidence. Non-doctors and non-liver specialists are misleading the general public with inaccurate videos about fatty liver. In this video, as a liver disease specialist, I discuss the most important scientific basics of diagnosing and treating fatty liver disease. This is the first part of my series on fatty liver disease. *Clips in this video, from other channels has been used under fair use policy for medical education purposes ONLY* The scientific sources used to make this video are 1.
