Commentary
The prevalence of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is estimated to be 25–30% in unselected populations. Its prevalence is high but severity is low. However, many patients are now referred to hepatology departments and they need to screen further those at risk of advanced
fibrosis (5%). The interface between primary and secondary care has become a topic for research because it is very important for patients care in terms of diagnosis and management. The authors conclude that there is urgent need for an integrated management plan between primary and secondary care, with robust pathways.
