Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a global public health burden. NAFLD, while strongly associated with the metabolic syndrome, can occur independently from existing metabolic diseases. In addition to liver-related disease burden and mortality, significant extrahepatic disease outcomes coexist with NAFLD, including cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes. Management of these comorbidities contributes to the overall public health burden of NAFLD. These extrahepatic manifestations require healthcare interventions that are vigilant in monitoring for progression of liver disease while simultaneously managing overall morbidity and mortality from other organ systems.

Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
