A systematic review of follow-up biopsies reveals disease progression in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver

TLDR
A substantial proportion of patients with NAFL can progress towards well-defined NASH with bridging fibrosis, especially if metabolic risk factors deteriorate, and current monitoring practices of these patients should be revised.

Natural history of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A prospective follow-up study with serial biopsies.

TL;DR: NAFLD is a highly heterogeneous disease, and it is surprisingly hard to predict fibrosis progression, with 16% of patients with fibrosis stage <3 developing advanced fibrosis and 9.3% showing signs of end‐stage liver disease.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Modulating Gut Microbiota to Improve Severity?

TL;DR: How probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotic, fecal microbiota transfer, polyphenols, specific diets and exercise interventions have been shown to modify gut microbiota signatures, improve NAFLD outcomes is discussed and detail, when available, the different mechanisms by which these beneficial outcomes might occur is discussed.

Myeloid Sirtuin 6 Deficiency Causes Insulin Resistance in High-Fat Diet–Fed Mice by Eliciting Macrophage Polarization Toward an M1 Phenotype

TL;DR: It is concluded that Sirt6 in macrophages is required for the prevention of obesity-associated tissue inflammation and insulin resistance.

Downregulation of microRNA-451 in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis inhibits fatty acid-induced proinflammatory cytokine production through the AMPK/AKT pathway

TL;DR: In vitro analysis of the effect of miR-451 on proinflammatory cytokine provided evidence for negative regulation of PA-induced interleukin (IL)-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production and showed that Cab39 is a direct target of miRNA-451 in steatotic cells, while study showed that AMPK activated through Cab39 inhibits NF-κB transactivation induced in Steatotic HepG2 cells.

Biopsy and Noninvasive Methods to Assess Progression of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: Improved understanding of the pathophysiology of NAFLD and technologic advances have led to algorithms that can be used to assess serum biomarkers and imaging methods that are noninvasive alternatives to biopsy collection and analysis.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a spectrum of clinical and pathological severity.

TL;DR: The outcome of cirrhosis and liver-related death is not uniform across the spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver, and poor outcomes are more frequent in patients in whom biopsies show ballooning degeneration and Mallory hyaline or fibrosis.

The Natural History of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study

TL;DR: Mortality among community-diagnosed NAFLD patients is higher than the general population and is associated with older age, impaired fasting glucose, and cirrhosis, although the absolute risk is low.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver, steatohepatitis, and the metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: The presence of multiple metabolic disorders is associated with a potentially progressive, severe liver disease and the increasing prevalence of obesity, coupled with diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and ultimately the metabolic syndrome puts a very large population at risk of forthcoming liver failure in the next decades.
