Liver Steatosis Definition

Liver steatosis, also known as fatty liver, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the liver. This can be caused by various factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, or high cholesterol. If left untreated, it can lead to more serious liver diseases such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. It is often asymptomatic in the early stages, but can cause symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, and abdominal pain as it progresses.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Liver Steatosis Index (LSI):

\[ LSI = 8 \left( \frac{40}{30} \right) + 25 + 2 + 2 = 8 \left( 1.33 \right) + 25 + 4 = 10.64 + 25 + 4 = 39.64 \]

The Liver Steatosis Index (LSI) is 39.64.
