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.

Physiology and pathophysiology of liver lipid metabolism

TL;DR: It is likely that the gut microbiota is involved in a complex metabolic modulation and the translocation of gut microflora may also contribute to maintaining the low-grade inflammatory status of metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: In this article, a multidisciplinary approach that addresses comorbid conditions and promotes modest weight loss comprises the backbone of therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH).

Bariatric surgery for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: A clinical and cost-effectiveness analysis.

TL;DR: In overweight patients, surgery increased QALYs for all patients regardless of fibrosis stage, but was cost‐effective only for patients with F3 fibrosis; the results highlight the promise of bariatric surgery for treating NASH and underscore the need for clinical trials in this area.

Triglyceride Glucose Index Is Superior to the Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance for Predicting Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Korean Adults.

TL;DR: The TyG index and prevalence of NAFLD were significantly related and theTyG index was superior to HOMA-IR in predicting NAFLd in Korean adults and according to the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the TyG Index was superior in predictingNAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural history of NASH and HCC

TL;DR: A mini‐review will discuss the contribution of male sex, older age and Caucasian ethnicity and host genetic variants to NAFLD‐associated morbidity, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures such as physical activity and weight control in view of the current pandemic of the metabolic syndrome.

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.
