Fatty liver, or steatosis, is a term that describes the buildup of fat in the liver. While it's normal to have some fat in your liver, more than 5 to 10 percent of your liver weight is fat in the case of fatty liver. Studies have shown that Indians are more prone to fatty liver than our western counterparts - with almost one third of the population in India having this condition.
