Which disorder is fatty liver NOT typically associated with?

Fatty liver disease is characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells and is commonly linked to metabolic disorders. It is most often associated with obesity, where excess body fat increases the risk of insulin resistance and fat deposition in the liver. Similarly, diabetes, particularly type 2, is also closely related to fatty liver due to the metabolic dysfunction that leads to insulin resistance and, ultimately, increased fat storage in the liver.

Kwashiorkor, on the other hand, is a form of severe malnutrition resulting primarily from a deficiency of protein despite adequate caloric intake. This disorder leads to a different set of physiological changes and does not typically result in the excess fat accumulation seen in fatty liver disease. In fact, the liver in kwashiorkor may be affected by a lack of nutrients, which contributes to a different set of liver dysfunctions rather than fatty liver.

Hypertension is often seen in individuals with fatty liver, particularly as part of metabolic syndrome; however, it does not directly correlate with the condition in the same way that obesity and diabetes do. Thus, the link between fatty liver and kwashiorkor is the weakest, making kwashiorkor the correct answer in this context.
