​Fatty liver disease is a growing health concern that affects millions of adults. It occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver, leading to inflammation, scarring, and, in severe cases, cirrhosis or liver failure. Many patients have no symptoms until the disease has progressed, which makes early detection essential.

​

At RGV Liver Institute, we specialize in identifying and managing fatty liver disease before it becomes advanced. Our physicians use advanced diagnostic tools such as FibroScan, imaging, and targeted lab testing to measure liver fat, inflammation, and fibrosis (scarring). Once diagnosed, we develop an individualized treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, and medication management.

​

Our goal is to help patients reverse or stabilize liver damage, improve metabolic health, and prevent future complications. Through education, support, and evidence-based care, we empower patients to take control of their liver health and live fuller, healthier lives.
