Fatty Liver Disease
Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when there is an accumulation of excess fat in the liver cells. While a small amount of fat in the liver is normal, too much can lead to liver inflammation and damage.
Fatty liver disease is commonly categorized into two types: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD). Many individuals with fatty liver disease may not experience noticeable symptoms initially. However, as the condition progresses, symptoms can include fatigue, abdominal discomfort, and unexplained weight loss. Risk factors for developing fatty liver disease include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and excessive alcohol consumption. It’s essential to identify and manage these risk factors to prevent further liver damage. To learn more, contact our staff to schedule a consultation with the doctor.

Hep B and Hep C Treatment
One of Dr. Sayegh’s area of expertise is Hepatitis B and Hep C treatment. Hepatitis C is a viral infection that can lead to liver inflammation and damage if not properly managed. Dr. Sayegh offers advanced therapies and individualized treatment strategies to effectively treat hepatitis C, aiming for viral eradication and improved liver function. Hepatitis C requires prompt and effective treatment to prevent long-term liver damage.
Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Both Hepatitis B and C can be asymptomatic in their early stages. When symptoms do appear, they can include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and nausea. Chronic infection can lead to severe liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
