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.

A proposal from the Liver Forum for the management of comorbidities in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutic trials.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed guidance for the management of relevant comorbidities in both candidates and actual participants in NASH therapeutic trials, based on specific guidelines from scientific societies when available, but adapted them to the particulars of NASH trials with the optics of addressing multiple interacting requirements such as maintaining patient safety, reaching holistic therapeutic objectives, minimizing confounding effects on efficacy and safety of investigational agents and allowing trial completion.

Incidence and Predictors of Liver-Related Events in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors assessed the incidence and predictors of liver-related events (LREs) and mortality in NAFLD patients, and found that the mortality rate was higher in those with diabetes than those without diabetes.

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.
