High Salt Intake May Cause Fatty Liver in Lean People
Original: Excess Salt May Trigger Fatty Liver Disease in Lean People Through a Distinct Biological Pathway
New research suggests excess salt consumption may trigger fatty liver disease even in people of normal weight, operating through a distinct biological pathway rather than the metabolic processes linked to obesity. The findings could change how doctors assess liver disease risk in lean patients who do not fit traditional risk profiles, and are prompting discussion about dietary salt limits.
Why now: A newly reported study links salt intake to fatty liver disease in non-obese people, challenging the assumption that the condition affects mainly the overweight.
