Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) A new consequence of the obesity epidemic.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Fatty liver (Steatosis) Normal liver Steatohepatitis - inflammation - fibrosis Cirrhosis
NAFLD 1.Most common of all liver disorders. 2. Most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. 3. Affects 3-20% of general population. 4. Present in up to 75% of individuals with obesity, type 2 diabetes. 5. Present in 3% of children and >50% of obese children. Fatty Liver Disease: NASH and Related Disorders Blackwell Publishing, 2005
