Review on "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease"

The term "Fatty Liver" or "Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease" refers to the presence of lobular inflammation and macro vesicular alterations without inflammation (steatosis) in the absence of heavy alcohol consumption. It can be further broken down into two subgroups: NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) and NAFL (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver).Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) develops in people who drink little to no alcohol when too much fat builds up in the liver cells. Numerous metabolic risk factors, including diabetes and obesity, are linked to NAFLD. Although NAFLD is usually not harmful, in certain cases it can advance to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).Metabolic Syndrome, obesity, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are all frequently linked to NAFLD. NAFLD is present in around 80% of people with metabolic syndrome.
