Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and Metabolic Disorders

Background:

  • Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) affects 10-51% of the general population across all age groups.
  • It is a primary cause of elevated ALT and frequently identified via ultrasound screening.
  • NAFLD spectrum ranges from simple steatosis to Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), potentially leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and analyze the factors influencing the onset of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
  • To explore the association between NAFLD and metabolic syndrome components.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on factors influencing NAFLD development.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data and risk factors.
  • Examination of racial, ethnic, environmental, and behavioral models.

Main Results:

  • NAFLD is strongly associated with insulin resistance.
  • It is considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, arteriosclerosis, and hypertension.
  • Increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes correlates with growing interest in NAFLD.

Conclusions:

  • NAFLD is a significant health concern with a wide prevalence.
  • Understanding the multifactorial etiology, including metabolic, environmental, and behavioral aspects, is crucial for NAFLD management.
  • Further research into risk factors is warranted given the rising incidence.
