TLDR
Older age, obesity, and presence of diabetes mellitus help identify those NASH patients who might have severe liver fibrosis, and this is the subgroup of patients who would be expected to derive the most benefit from having a liver biopsy and considering investigational therapies.About:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
TL;DR: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with an increased risk of all-cause death, probably because of complications of insulin resistance such as vascular disease, as well as due to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, which occurs in a minority of patients.

TL;DR: A simple scoring system accurately separates patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with and without advanced fibrosis, rendering liver biopsy for identification ofAdvanced fibrosis unnecessary in a substantial proportion of patients.

Classification and diagnosis of diabetes
TL;DR: A diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (diabetes diagnosed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy that is not clearly overt diabetes) or chemical-induced diabetes (such as in the treatment of HIV/AIDS or after organ transplantation)
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: From steatosis to cirrhosis
TL;DR: The present “gold standard” management of NASH is modest weight reduction, particularly correction of central obesity achieved by combining dietary measures with increased physical activity, which improves insulin resistance and reverses steatosis, hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis.

Function and activation of NF-kappa B in the immune system.
TL;DR: The inhibition of NF-kappa B activation by antioxidants and specific protease inhibitors may provide a pharmacological basis for interfering with these acute processes in suppressing toxic/septic shock, graft-vs-host reactions, acute inflammatory reactions, severe phase response, and radiation damage.

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.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: Mayo Clinic experiences with a hitherto unnamed disease.
TL;DR: Findings in 20 patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis of unknown cause found the patients were moderately obese, and many had obesity-associated diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and cholelithiasis.
