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.

Clinical Epidemiology of NAFLD

TL;DR: The increasing prevalence of NAFLD with advanced fibrosis is concerning because patients appear to experience higher liver-related and non-liver-related mortality than the general population, and one that requires more in-depth analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disease state transition probabilities across the spectrum of NAFLD: A systematic review and meta-analysis of paired biopsy or imaging studies.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a meta-analysis to summarize the rates of progression to and regression of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and fibrosis in adults with NAFLD. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic.

Cross-talk between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease: Implications for future trial design.

TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for consideration for future trials examining the inter-relationship between cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is provided, and a rationale for considering cardiovascular endpoints in the context of NAFLD trials and, vice-versa, to consider the concomitant presence of NASD in drug development for cardiometabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Managing the Burden of Non-NASH NAFLD.

TL;DR: Steatosis without fibrosis carries a low risk of progression to cirrhosis but likely confers an increased risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.

Effect of livergol on the improvement of fatty liver in patients with cancer undergoing irinotecan- and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimen.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the adding of Livergol to oxaliplatin and irinotecan regimens significantly improved the fatty liver of patients and none of them was superior.

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.
