Yes. Fatty liver can result in Cirrhosis of the liver and can eventually fail. Make sure your dad is not diabetic if he is he needs to control his sugar. Also, diet as mc exercise work to loose weight also avoids fatty foods.
Fatty Liver is quite common. Most of the times patients are overweight and have high cholesterol. Alcoholism could be one of the reasons.
Fatty liver is an interesting disease. I wish I could say it was not an issue of concern. It sometimes can be helped just by losing weight, but unfortunately, it can also lead to cirrhosis. Your father should see a hepatologist.
Good luck.
