    Fatty change, also called steatosis, is the abnormal accumulation of triglycerides within parenchymal cells. It is commonly caused by toxins, protein malnutrition, diabetes, obesity, and anoxia. The liver, heart, muscle and kidney are usually affected. Fatty change occurs within the parenchymal cells, while stromal fatty infiltration is the accumulation of fat in the stroma, or connective tissue, of an organ.

    of triglycerides within parenchymal cells. The causes of steatosis include toxins, protein
    malnutrition, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and anoxia.

    2. What organs are usually affected by fatty change?

    Answer: Liver, heart, muscle and kidney

    3. What is the difference between fatty change and stromal fatty infiltration?

    Answer: The difference between fatty change and stromal fatty infiltration is the
    the location of the accumulation or infiltration. Fatty change occurs within the
    parenchymal cells while stromal fatty infiltration occurs in the stroma which is the part of
    a tissue or organ that has a connective and structural role.
