Liver Fibrosis Tied to Poorer Health Outlook in Those With Fatty Liver Disease
(1/1)
Hep Editors:
Among people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the presence of liver fibrosis (scarring) is associated with poorer liver-related health outcomes as well as a higher risk of death, MedPage Today reports.

Rod Taylor, PhD, MSc, of the University of Glasgow, and colleagues analyzed data from 13 published studies, including one randomized controlled trial and 12 observational cohort studies, that between them included 4,428 people with NAFLD. Among this group were 2,875 people with NASH.
