Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has affected more than one-fourth of the global population, thus emerging as a worldwide health and economic burden. The common causes of death in patients with NAFLD include cardiovascular disease (CVD), decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, identifying the risk of these complications in patients with NAFLD remains an unmet need in clinical practice.
非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)已影响全球超过四分之一的人口,因此成为一项全球性的健康和经济负担。NAFLD患者的常见死因包括心血管疾病(CVD)、失代偿和肝细胞癌(HCC)。然而,在临床实践中,识别NAFLD患者发生这些并发症的风险仍然是一项未得到满足的需求。
