Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: an emerging pathological spectrum
@article{Zafrani2003NonalcoholicFL, title={Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: an emerging pathological spectrum}, author={E. Zafrani}, journal={Virchows Archiv}, year={2003}, volume={444}, pages={3-12} }
The spectrum of pathological lesions observed in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is wide and strongly resembles that of alcohol-induced liver disease. It ranges from fatty liver to steatohepatitis, progressive fibrosis and cirrhosis. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a possible complication of NAFLD, but whether it is related to frequently associated metabolic disorders (e.g., overweight, diabetes) or to underlying cirrhosis is unclear. This disease is the result of a multi-factorial… CONTINUE READING
