Abstract in brief

  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in the Western world and is closely linked to obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders.
  • NAFLD can range from simple fat buildup in the liver (steatosis) to more severe forms like nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver failure, with liver biopsy being the gold standard for diagnosis.
  • Treatment mainly involves lifestyle changes such as weight loss and managing metabolic syndrome, with medications like pioglitazone and vitamin E used in certain cases, though maintaining these interventions can be challenging.]

@shunley42 Pubmed is the best place to look. Seems like biopsy is still the gold standard, according to some people. “Histologic evaluation with liver biopsy remains the gold standard to diagnose NAFLD.” https://t.co/Yc4CwdTAea
