The pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis in chronic Hepatitis C infection has not been fully elucidated. Hepatic steatosis is a manifestation of excessive triglyceride accumulation in the liver. Hypertriglyceridemia may benefit from Omega-3 fatty acid (fish oil supplements) which, by reducing VLDL production can lower the serum triglyceride concentration by as much as 50 percent or more.
