NAFLD refers to several liver conditions, such as cirrhosis, fibrosis, and simple steatosis[147].Fatty liver, considered to be the most benign form of NAFLD, is thought to affect one-third of adult Americans. The main fatty liver brought on by the buildup of fat is predominantly composed of...

Because of their limited predictive effectiveness, tissue specificity, and sensitivity, conventional blood and tissue biomarkers are currently inadequate for predicting the prognosis of NAFLD. The most reliable method to diagnose NASH is still liver biopsy. It is, however, intrusive, potentially hazardous...

As we know, liver tissue biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing NAFLD and determining the grade of steatosis. To the best of our knowledge, our study was the first to investigate the relationship between SHBG and NAFLD in Asian biopsy-proven patients, although not in a large sample size...
2014). However, in obesity, when the storage capacity of adipose tissue is exceeded, free fatty acids accumulate in ectopic organs, including the liver (but also in the arteries). As such, hepatic steatosis (Wojcik-Cichy et al. 2018) develops, resulting in the formation of adverse ...

liver is accompanied by varying degrees of inflammation and scarring of liver tissue and cells (fibrosis). Unlike Fatty Liver, NASH is not considered relatively harmless. Instead, NASH is considered a liver disease with the potential to progress to cirrhosis, which can then lead to liver failure...
