Overview
Most individuals are asymptomatic and are usually discovered incidentally because of abnormal liver function tests or hepatomegaly noted in unrelated medical condition. Elevated liver biochemistry is found in 50% of patients with simple steatosis.[1] The serum ALT level usually is greater than the AST level in non-alcoholic variant and the opposite in alcoholic FLD.
