Overview
NAFLD – non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – represent a wide spectrum of clinical and pathological conditions (simple steatosis – steatohepatitis – hepatic cirrhosis and its complications). Risk factors for the development of NAFLD include: obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, hypertriglyceridemia. NAFLD mainly associated with type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome is the most common chronic diseases worldwide which affects 15–40 % of the world population. Transient elastography (TE) is a painless non –invasive methodology, which measures the stiffness of the liver tissue. It can be used in monitoring of the patient and also such a screening of chronic liver diseases. Given the high prevalence of NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes, these patients may benefit from screening of liver disease through TE. Interdisciplinary cooperation is needed for early diagnosis and prevention of NAFLD and its late complications. The authors briefly review the clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD .
Key words:
NAFLD – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease – transient elastography – diabetes mellitus – obesity
