From NAFLD to NASH Ran Oren, MD Inst. Gastroenterology & Liver Diseases, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem
An Illustration: a real case 1978: D.Z. a 26 year old medical student, ALT 56 iu, hepatomegaly- etiology? 1985: DM type 2, Hypertension, heperlipidemia 1996: 44 year old, MI/CABG 2000: Chronic Liver Disease
The one million $ question Had we known in 1978 everything we know today about NAFLD, could we change the natural history? Could we prevent the metabolic syndrome? Heart disease? Liver disease?
Could Netanyahu have normal liver enzymes? Normal serum glucose?Could Obama have NAFLD?
0-1999 DON’T WORRY IT IS JUST FATTY LIVER 1999- DO WORRY- FATTY LIVER DISEASE 2004- MOREOVER- THE METABOLIC SYNDROME 2006- CARDIO- VASCULAR DISEASE
Primary NAFLD prevalence (US) Men Women NAFLD NAFLD 21% 38% Normal Normal 95%CI 31-45% 95% CI 14-28%
Fatty Liver vs. Metabolic Syndrome P<0.001 71 % Prevalence of fatty liver among the metabolic syndrome Prevalence of metabolic syndrome among fatty liver
Liver Biopsy, the Gold Standard is neither Gold nor Standard
Liver Biopsy for patients with NAFLD • Is it the gold standard for the diagnosis? • Who should undergo biopsy? • When should we biopsy? • Can we biopsy everybody? Liver International 2007
Sampling Variability of Liver Biopsy in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Sampling Variability of Liver Biopsy in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-invasive markers of liver injury • Fibroscan- elastometry • MRI • BioMarkers • FibroTest-ActiTes-FibroMax • Other markers published • Hyaluronicacid • SpectroTest: HA, A2M, TIMP1 • GlycoCirrhotest • APRI: AST, platelets • Forns: Age,GGT, Platelets • Rosenberg: HA, PIIIP, TIMP1 • Leroy: TIMP1, MMP2 • FPI: Age, CT, AST, Insulin, OH • Laine: HA, CarbohydrateDeficT, Transferrin • AP: Age-platelets

The Immune Pathways Implicated in the Pathogenesis of NASH Blue-stimulation Red-inhibition
The inflammasome is a multiproteinoligomer consisting of caspase 1, PYCARD, NALP and sometimes caspase 5 The inflammasome is responsible for activation of inflammatory processes
A microbiome is the ecological community of comenssal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms that literally share our body space
