Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) is one of the earliest and most common liver conditions caused by excessive alcohol consumption. In many cases, it develops silently without noticeable symptoms, yet it can progress to severe liver damage if left untreated. Early diagnosis and timely medical care are crucial to prevent long-term complications.
