Hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver disease, is characterized by the accumulation of over 5-10% fat in liver tissue and can result from excessive alcohol intake (alcoholic fatty liver disease) or weight-related issues like diabetes and poor diet (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Effective management involves addressing the underlying causes through lifestyle changes and medical intervention.
