The common perception that liver disease occurs predominantly in people who drink is wrong. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) is a condition that can affect people who drink little to no alcohol at all.

If left untreated, NAFLD can progress and develop into something known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can further cause cirrhosis, and/or liver failure.
