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.

Fibrosis Predictive Score in Caucasian Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

TL;DR: At an optimal cut-off value of <3.5, the fibrosis predicting score could be used to rule-out the risk for developing at least significant fibrosis with a high negative predictive value (NPV 89.2%) in patients with MetS.

Recognition and Management of Children with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: Providers should have a high degree of suspicion for NAFLD, approaching the workup and diagnosis in an incremental, step-wise fashion.

[Modification of dietary patterns in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis].

TL;DR: Modification of dietary patterns with the use of a specialized food in combination with low-calorie diet allows achieving significant reduction of weight and improve lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, reduce severity of cholestasis in patients with NASH.

Sample size calculation for a NanoString GeoMx spatial transcriptomics experiment to study predictors of fibrosis progression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a stepwise process for sample size calculation to identify predictors of fibrosis progression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a case study, and demonstrate that spatial transcriptomics studies with NanoString GeoMx Whole Transcriptome Atlas can be powered to address differences between patient groups and illustrate the sample size calculating using fibrosis progress in nonalcoholic fat liver disease.

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.
