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.

Green tea polyphenols ameliorate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through upregulating AMPK activation in high fat fed Zucker fatty rats.

TL;DR: The protective effects of GTP against HFD-induced NAFLD in genetically obese ZF rats are positively correlated to reduction in hepatic lipogenesis through upregulating the AMPK pathway.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Pros and Cons of Histologic Systems of Evaluation.

TL;DR: Four extant methods of evaluating the lesions that collectively comprise the phenotypic spectra of NAFLD have specific applications; there are pros and cons to each, and this forms the basis of the review.

Liver Function in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Randomized to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Versus Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: Patients with NASH undergoing RYGB are more susceptible to early transient deterioration of liver function than after SG, suggesting that rapid weight loss and mal absorption after bariatric surgery in patients with NAFLD or steatohepatitis may impair liver function.

The Role of Nuclear Receptors in the Pathophysiology, Natural Course, and Drug Treatment of NAFLD in Humans.

TL;DR: This work discusses the results observed in humans following administration of drug agonists or antagonists of the NRs pathogenically involved in NAFLD, and analyzes the role of NRs in the natural history of humanNAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity: physiologic changes and implications for preoperative management

TL;DR: This manuscript addresses the major considerations for the preoperative evaluation of the severely obese patient and suggests preoperative measures may be implemented to mitigate complications.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
