While fatty liver disease and cirrhosis both involve the liver, it's important to note a number of key distinctions. Fatty liver disease is defined by the buildup of fat cells in the liver, but cirrhosis is the formation of scar tissue on top of normal areas of tissue.
Fatty liver (also reffered to as hepatic steatosis or hepatosteatosis), is an accumulation of fat in the liver. While the term is attributed to numerous conditions, it's most commonly used in reference to fatty liver disease. In general, a healthy liver should contain little to no fat.

Key differences between fatty liver disease and cirrhosis Hepatic steatosis is characterized by the buildup of fat in the liver; however, cirrhosis involves the development of scarring on top of healthy tissue. Both variations of fatty liver disease (AFLD and NAFLD) may cause cirrhosis if not addressed in time.
It used to be thought that progression from early stage NAFLD to cirrhosis took decades, but recent studies have shown that some people progress rapidly within 2 years.
Late-stage nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may present clinically and/or pathologically as cryptogenic cirrhosis.
The cumulative risk of progression of NAFLD to cirrhosis, and compensated cirrhosis to decompensated cirrhosis was 39% and 45%, respectively, over 8 years of follow-up.
