👉 Saturn infection, also known as Saturnosis, is a rare and complex condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat in the liver, often associated with other systemic abnormalities. This condition is typically linked to hemochromatosis, a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to regulate iron absorption, leading to excessive iron deposition in various organs, including the liver. In Saturn infection, the liver becomes infiltrated with fat cells (adipocytes) and fibrous tissue, causing steatosis (fatty liver) and potentially progressing to cirrhosis if left untreated. The exact mechanisms behind Saturn infection are not fully understood, but they involve a combination of genetic predisposition, iron overload, and possibly other metabolic disturbances. Symptoms can range from mild fatigue and abdominal discomfort to more severe complications like liver failure and diabetes, making early diagnosis and management crucial for preventing long-term damage.
