Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now the most common chronic liver disease worldwide and a leading indication for liver transplantation in the United States. NAFLD encompasses a heterogeneous clinicopathologic spectrum, ranging from nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and progressive fibrosis, which can lead to end-stage liver disease including cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Predictive models suggest that over 100 million adults in the United States will have NAFLD by 2030, representing over a third of the population. In this manuscript, we provide an overview of NAFLD risk factors, natural history (including hepatic and extra-hepatic outcomes), diagnosis, and current management strategies.
非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)现已成为全球最常见的慢性肝病,也是美国肝移植的主要指征。NAFLD 包含一个异质的临床病理谱,从非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFL)到非酒精性脂肪性肝炎,以及进行性纤维化,可导致终末期肝病,包括肝硬化和肝细胞癌。预测模型表明,到 2030 年,美国将有超过 1 亿成年人患有 NAFLD,占人口的三分之一以上。在本手稿中,我们提供了 NAFLD 危险因素、自然史(包括肝脏和肝脏外结局)、诊断和当前管理策略的概述。
