Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the United States. The term NALFD was first used by Ludwig in 1980 to describe the presence of hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis in a series of patients with no identifiable cause. Since then, our insight into the pathogenesis of NAFLD has expanded significantly. We now know that NAFLD is closely related to metabolic syndrome and chronic low-grade inflammation. In the following review, the authors summarize the current evidence about drugs that lead to hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis and pathogenic mechanisms thereof.
非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)是目前美国最常见的慢性肝病病因。NALFD 一词最早由 Ludwig 于 1980 年提出,用于描述一系列无明确病因的患者中存在的肝脂肪变性和脂肪性肝炎。此后,我们对 NAFLD 发病机制的认识显著扩展。我们现在知道,NAFLD 与代谢综合征和慢性低度炎症密切相关。在下面的综述中,作者总结了导致肝脂肪变性和脂肪性肝炎的药物及其发病机制的现有证据。
