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.

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed that altered metabolic state and its impact on immune response play an important role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) regardless of etiologies.

A Sequential Machine Learning Model for Identifying At-risk NASH by Combining Liver Stiffness Measurement and Protein Biomarkers

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared the diagnostic accuracies of 13 protein biomarkers and developed a biomarker-based machine learning algorithm to predict at-risk non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with NAFLD.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Clinical Features, Disease Modifiers, and Natural History

TL;DR: The clinical presentation and natural history of NAFLD as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome as well as a variety of conditions such as cardiovascular disease and obstructive sleep apnea are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening for NAFLD—Current Knowledge and Challenges

TL;DR: In this article , the authors summarise current knowledge and try to identify the limitations surrounding the screening policy for NAFLD in primary care, such as limitations in currently used non-invasive markers of fibrosis, cost-effectiveness and the absence of a licensed treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of acute and chronic exercise on hepatic lipid composition

TL;DR: In this paper , a review summarizes the acute (single bout) and chronic (exercise training) effects of exercise on hepatic lipid composition in rodents (acute studies, n = 3, chronic studies: n = 13) and humans (acitiative studies,n = 1, chronic study,n= 3) and concluded that an increased proportion of hepatic PUFA after acute and chronic exercise is the most consistent finding of this review.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
