 Hello,NonAlcoholicFattyLiverDisease ie NAFLD is a condition which affectts the lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and involves accumalation of fat and resultant inflammation aroudthe liver cells leading to scarring of liver.
Thyroid hormones play a important role in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.Recent evidence shows higher incidence of hypothyroidsm in association woith NAFLD.
Hypertrigyceridiemia needs control of obesity with diet and exercise apart from medical treatment.Omega3 fatty acids help in reducing the same.
Do consult your physician and you should do well with diet and minimal medication.
Best wishes.
