De Novo Steatosis Post-Liver Transplantation: Prevalence and Risk Factors
Non-hepatic metabolic conditions represent crucial drivers of post-liver transplant morbidity and mortality.
PanNASH covers commented articles ans publications to acquire sufficient information, understanding, and skills to cope with NASH/NAFLD healthcare demands.
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.
Recent research indicates that 30% of adults worldwide, 90% of those with obesity, and 70% with type 2 diabetes are affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Liver-related events contribute to a small proportion of mortality within the collective cohort of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Recent research supports the existence of a potential link between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and fatty pancreas.
The coexistence of numerous and primarily metabolism-related comorbidities is a common characteristic of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can be categorised into two disease sub-classifications: non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), its non-progressive subtype, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), its progressive form.
Recent research into non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has noted its distinct association with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
Mitochondria play a pivotal role in numerous features of hepatic function, driving processes such as substrate metabolism, energy production through cellular signalling, and biotransformation of xenobiotics.
The growing global prevalence of metabolic diseases, e.g. hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hyperlipidaemia, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), accounts for a significant proportion of this burden.
At-risk non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is defined as NASH with NAFLD activity scores (NAS) ≥4 and significant fibrosis (F ≥ 2) diagnosed via histological scoring of liver biopsy.
