Is fatty liver in kids a bigger threat than we know? Could it lead to cirrhosis?
Childhood obesity is increasing rapidly, leading to Pediatric Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD), a condition often underdiagnosed.

Screening and prevention, including balanced diets, exercise, and limited screen time, are crucial to combat this growing epidemic.
