Steatohepatitis is a type of fatty liver disease, characterized by inflammation of the liver with concurrent fat accumulation in liver. Mere deposition of fat in the liver is termed steatosis , and together these constitute fatty liver changes.
In steatosis, there is a difference between the density and brightness of the two organs, with the liver appearing darker. [12] On ultrasound, fat is more echogenic (capable of reflecting sound waves). The combination of liver steatosis being dark on CT and bright on ultrasound is sometimes known as the flip flop sign.

Steatosis (retention of lipid) and onset of steatohepatitis may represent successive stages in FLD progression. [23] Liver disease with extensive inflammation and a high degree of steatosis often progresses to more severe forms of the disease. [24] Hepatocyte ballooning and necrosis of varying degrees are often present at this stage.
Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), [a] is a type of chronic liver disease.This condition is diagnosed when there is excessive fat build-up in the liver (hepatic steatosis), and at least one metabolic risk factor.
The most apparent distinguishing factor between alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a history of excessive alcohol use. [77] Thus, in patients who have no or negligible alcohol use, the diagnosis is unlikely to be alcoholic hepatitis.
Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis) is a reversible condition where large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells. [8] Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a spectrum of disease associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. [9]

Steatosis usually resolves after discontinuation of alcohol use. Continuation of alcohol use will result in a higher risk of progression of liver disease and cirrhosis. In patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis, clinical manifestations include fever, jaundice, hepatomegaly , and possible hepatic decompensation with hepatic encephalopathy ...
