Doctor in the House: Fatty Liver On The Rise

You can’t escape the consequences of an unhealthy lifestyle, especially one centred around a high-fat, calorie-laden diet. One of the organs that can be badly affected is the liver, where excess fat  can accumulate in the liver cells. Consultant gastroenterologist & hepatologist Prof Dr Chan Wah Kheong joins Dr George Lee for a discussion about fatty liver, and its increasing significance in the development of liver cancer.
