When the body receives more fat than it needs, the excess fat is stored as adipose tissue. Fat tissue gradually accumulates in the liver of individuals who consume a diet that contains more fat than the body can handle. Another cause of fat accumulation in the liver is the body's inability to convert fat into a form that can be eliminated. When the liver has more than 5% fat stored in it, a person has fatty liver disease.
