(NAFLD)has become a quickly emerging cause of end-stage liver disease worldwide.Typically,its hepatic injury starts with simple steatosis,which can progress to advanced stages such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),fibrosis and finally cirrhosis.Epidemiology studies report that about 3-15%of the...
Longitudinal studies of untreated patients with CHB indicate that, after diagnosis, the 5-year cumulative incidence of developing cirrhosis ranges from 8% to 20%. The 5-year cumulative incidence of hepatic decompensation is approximately 20% for untreated patients with compensated cirrhosis [2], [3...

Metabolic dysfunction refers to the presence of obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension or dyslipidemia clinically. The primary histological characteristic of MASLD is hepatocellular steatosis, which is thought to be the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome [11]. According to the classic "two-hit theor...
Noninvasive monitoring of hepatic steatosis: controlled attenuation parameter and magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2019;13(6):523–530. doi:10.1080/17474124.2019.1608820 25. S...
consumption (high fat diet), which is relevant considering that hypertrophy is a trigger for inflammatory signals that sustain obesity. Furthermore, we found that BCP protected against the development of macrovesicular steatosis. Activation of CB2 is highly related to the control of hepatic steatosis...
hepatic steatosis, immuno- suppression, and certain HLA haplotypes.32,54,59,61,63–79 Among patients with chronic hepatitis C and com- pensated cirrhosis, the 10-year survival rate is approxi- mately 80%35 but is lower in other experiences (eg, 8-year survival of 67%80); however, the...
63 However, patients with established chronic liver disease with abnormal liver enzymes, hepatic steatosis on imaging, or viral hepatitis should be evaluated for cirrhosis. Liver biopsy is considered the criterion standard to diagnose cirrhosis, although it is being increasingly replaced by noninvasive ...
Typical imaging appearance of hepatic hemangiomas CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; CT, computed tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging. MRI is particularly useful in the diagnosis of FNH. With gadolinium, the pattern is similar to that found on CT, with rapid arterial enhancement and isointensity durin...
In turn, increasing severity of hepatic steatosis has been associated with disease progression, worsening liver damage and fibrosis in patients with chronic HCV [19]. Although the exact mechanisms for disease progression in patients with steatosis have not been completely elucidated, it has been shown...
