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.

New paradigms in the histopathology of NAFLD

TL;DR: There is increasing interest in the portal changes of NASH as these correlate with the progression of fibrosis, and disease-associated hepatocyte senescence appears to trigger an alternative regenerative pathway and the development of a periportal ductular reaction (DR), which may have a role in progressive fibrogenesis.

Log-Linear model and Multistate Model to Assess the Rate of Fibrosis in NAFLD Patients

Iman Attia
TL;DR: The findings revealed that insulin resistance expressed by MOMA-IR 2 had the most deleterious effects among other factors for increasing the rate of forward progression of patients from state 1 to state 2 as well as from state 2 to state 3 and from state 3 to state 4.

Hepatocellular carcinoma on the background of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: epidemiological update

TL;DR: The main clinical and molecular features leading to the progression of liver disease and the development of HCC in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in NAFLD are discussed and the emerging concept of metabolic associated fatty Liver disease and its association with the developed HCC are introduced.

Usefulness of the SAF score to characterize NAFLD/NASH in non-cirrhotic HCV patients

TL;DR: In this article , the SAF score (steatosis, activity, and fibrosis) has been developed for the assessment of the histological severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

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.
