Fatty liver disease?

[LeopardShade]

I am asking this due to plain curiosity. None of my geckos, as I know, have it, but I would like to know a few things, as I have recently gotten interested in studying diseases in reptiles and birds. Maybe anyone who has a good knowledge of herp diseases can help.
Is fatty liver disease fatal? Can it be cured once diagnosed? If so, how? For example, say a gecko got out of a waxworm addiction (once again, this did not happen to one of my geckos) and then was completely cut off of waxworms, switching to healthier foods (crickets/mealworms). Will the fatty liver simply go away as more nutritious foods are included back in the diet, or will it be there for life?

A response would be highly appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'm no expert in this; but as far as I know, fatty liver disease is fatal and cannot be cured. But when caught in the very early stages, the process can be stopped or even reversed by correcting the diet.

Thank you for the response. That was what I thought initially as well.
