Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and drug induced liver injury: A metabolic storm waiting to happen.

Summary: Imagine having a liver that is already struggling with extra fat, a common condition known as fatty liver disease. Now, imagine taking a normal medicine that accidentally harms your liver. When these two things happen at the same time, it creates a dangerous "metabolic storm" in the body! In a recent medical editorial, doctors discuss how having a fatty liver makes it much more risky if you experience liver injury from medications. It is a strong reminder for doctors to be extra careful and watch closely when prescribing drugs to patients with fatty liver disease.
