Natural History of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Study With Paired Liver Biopsies.

TL;DR: NAFLD is a dynamic liver disease with varying degrees of progression and regression and noninvasive fibrosis scores such as AST/ALT ratio, FIB-4 score, and NAFLD fibrosis score can identify those at risk of fibrosis progression.

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.

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.
