Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the form of triglycerides in the hepatocytes. A more severe form of NAFLD with necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis is called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The liver is located in the center of the body's organ network and acts as a coordinator of glucose and lipid metabolism. Therefore, it is important to perform nutritional therapy of patients with NAFLD/NASH while maintaining the energy balance in the entire body.
非酒精性脂肪性肝病（NAFLD）的特征是肝细胞内以甘油三酯形式存在的脂肪过度蓄积。NAFLD更严重的形式伴有坏死、炎症和纤维化，称为非酒精性脂肪性肝炎（NASH）。肝脏位于身体器官网络的中心，起着协调葡萄糖和脂质代谢的作用。因此，在维持全身能量平衡的同时，对NAFLD/NASH患者进行营养治疗非常重要。
