It’s High Time NAFLD Was Renamed, Experts Say
« on: May 01, 2020, 01:58:12 pm »
An expert panel has called for renaming non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), preferring the name metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) to better reflect the drivers of the disease and to improve efforts to prevent and treat it.

Publishing their conclusions in the journal Gastroenterology, the scientists noted that one quarter of the global population has fatty liver disease.

MAFLD, to use the suggested new terminology, refers to the buildup of fat in the liver associated with metabolic dysfunction. This can give rise to inflammation, which over time can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The more severe form of the condition is traditionally known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
