Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a new term from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is a positive diagnosis based on histopathology, imaging, or blood biomarkers. MAFLD is one of the common causes of liver dysfunction worldwide, likely due to the increase in metabolic syndrome as well as the high burden of disease and its relationship to other extrahepatic conditions. However, effective pharmacological therapeutic agents are still lacking; current management largely focuses on weight reduction and lifestyle modification. The purpose of this review was to summarize the updated evidence of novel therapies targeting different pathogenetic pathways in MAFLD.
代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝病(MAFLD)是从非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)衍生出的一个新术语,是基于组织病理学、影像学或血液生物标志物做出的肯定性诊断。MAFLD是全球肝功能障碍的常见原因之一,这可能归因于代谢综合征的增加以及疾病的高负担及其与其他肝外疾病的关系。然而,仍然缺乏有效的药物治疗剂;目前的管理主要集中在减轻体重和改变生活方式。本综述的目的是总结针对MAFLD不同致病途径的新型疗法的最新证据。
