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.

First-degree family history of diabetes is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease independent of glucose metabolic status

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the association between a first-degree family history of diabetes and NAFLD and the influence of glucose metabolic status on the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Progression of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease-Associated Fibrosis in a Large Cohort of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale data on progression and regression of fibrosis in diabetics with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) based on ICD-9 codes were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validity of routine biochemical and ultrasound scores for prediction of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis in NAFLD

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the validity of non-invasive scores and ultrasound findings to predict fibrosis and steatosis in a cohort of NAFLD patients who underwent liver biopsy.
Dissertation

The importance of fat and alcohol for progression and prognosis in chronic liver disease

TL;DR: It is found that a low to moderate consumption of alcohol is safe in PSC and possibly protective in NAFLD, and the strongest predictor of disease-specific mortality inNAFLD is the stage of fibrosis, which can have implications for the design of endpoints in future clinical studies.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
