It means that fat is depositing in the liver.
It is seen commonly in heavy people, particularly people with Diabetes or early difficulty processing sugar. High fructose corn syrup is more likely to cause this than cane sugar.
It is rarely a problem other than causing a mild rise in the blood tests done to check for liver damage and is best treated with a low carb / low fat diet and weight loss and avoiding fructose as a sweetener.
