The NAFLD fibrosis score: A noninvasive system that identifies liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD
A simple scoring system accurately separates patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with and without advanced fibrosis, rendering liver biopsy for identification ofAdvanced fibrosis unnecessary in a substantial proportion of patients.

The presence of multiple metabolic disorders is associated with a potentially progressive, severe liver disease and the increasing prevalence of obesity, coupled with diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and ultimately the metabolic syndrome puts a very large population at risk of forthcoming liver failure in the next decades.

It is concluded that NAFLD, in the presence of normoglycemia and normal or moderately increased body weight, is characterized by clinical and laboratory data similar to those found in diabetes and obesity.

NAFLD is highly prevalent in the general population, is not associated with SLD, but is associated with many features of the metabolic syndrome.

The ability of insulin‐sensitizing, pharmacological agents to treat NAFLD by reducing IR in the liver (metformin) and in the periphery (thiazolidinediones) are discussed.

Features suggestive of NASH are more frequently observed in HCC arising in patients with CC than in age- and sex-matched HCC patients of well-defined viral or alcoholic etiology.

Normal ALT is not a valuable criterion to exclude patients from liver biopsy, and Alterations in glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in subjects with normal ALT should also be considered in the selection of NAFLD cases for histological assessment of disease severity and progression.
