Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a leading cause of chronic liver disease, affecting a staggering 30% of the global population.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is estimated to affect 38% of adults worldwide, a statistic which is expected to increase with the rise of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The term metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has recently been proposed as an alternative to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)’s exclusionary nomenclature.
Peroxisome proliferated-activated receptors (PPARs), including α, β/δ and γ isotypes, are a nuclear receptor family of lipid sensors activated by natural fatty acid derivatives and pharmacological agonists.
Tissue fibrosis is induced by an excessive collagen deposition in organs suffering from inflammation and is associated with several diseases, including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Over the past few decades, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a growing problem, alongside the increasing rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
In this study, a large, global, multidisciplinary panel discussed priorities within the field of fatty liver disease, including its burden, policies surrounding the issue and treatment options.
Currently, there are rising levels of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). With this, comes a concurrent increase in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases.
Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) involves a complex interplay of many issues, involving obesity, metabolic dysregulation, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and more. This condition extends to clinical implications including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as well as cancer and sleep apnoea.
Non-hepatic metabolic conditions represent crucial drivers of post-liver transplant morbidity and mortality.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), recently renamed metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), affects 30% of adults worldwide and up to 40% of those with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)
Both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), NAFLD’s inflammatory and progressive subtype, are the histologic manifestations of a heterogeneous disease intricately linked with metabolic disorders.
