Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
The DelveInsight’s Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease market report gives a thorough understanding of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by including details such as disease definition, symptoms, causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is a very common disorder and refers to a group of conditions where there is an accumulation of excess fat in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol. The most common form of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is a non-serious condition called fatty liver. In fatty liver, fat accumulates in the liver cells. Although having fat in the liver is not normal, by itself it probably does not damage the liver. A small group of people with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease may have a more serious condition named non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, fat accumulation is associated with liver cell inflammation and different degrees of scarring.
The majority of individuals with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease have no symptoms and a normal examination. Children may exhibit symptoms such as abdominal pain, which may be in the center or the right upper part of the abdomen, and sometimes fatigue. However, other causes of abdominal pain and fatigue should be considered. On physical examination, the liver might be slightly enlarged and some children may have patchy, dark discoloration of the skin present (acanthosis nigricans) most commonly over the neck and the underarm area. Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is part of the metabolic syndrome characterized by diabetes, or pre-diabetes (insulin resistance), being overweight or obese, elevated blood lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as high blood pressure. Not all patients have all the manifestations of metabolic syndrome. Less is known about what causes Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease to develop. Researchers are focusing on several factors that may contribute to the development of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. These include oxidative stress (imbalance between pro-oxidant and anti-oxidant chemicals that lead to liver cell damage); production and release of toxic inflammatory proteins (cytokines) by the patient’s own inflammatory cells, liver cells, or fat cells; liver cell necrosis or death, called apoptosis; adipose tissue (fat tissue) inflammation and infiltration by white blood cells; and gut microbiota (intestinal bacteria) which may play a role in liver inflammation. Obesity is thought to be the most common cause of fatty infiltration of the liver. Some experts estimate that about two-thirds of obese adults and half of the obese children may have fatty liver. The number of children who have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is not known. The presence of type 2 diabetes and other conditions associated with insulin resistance, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome are known risk factors for the development of fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease diagnosis
After physical examination, the next step remains to determine whether the patient with fatty liver has only fat within their liver (also called steatosis), where scarring of the liver is rare or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with both fat and inflammation in the liver that over time can cause scarring in the liver. The most accurate way to figure this out is to perform a liver biopsy. There are a growing number of alternatives to liver biopsy that can also provide much of the same information without requiring needle insertion into the liver. These include measuring liver stiffness and fat content of the liver with elastography testing through the use of a specialized ultrasound (Fibroscan) or MRI scan. Special blood tests or a combination of routine blood tests can also be used to evaluate for possible liver scarring in patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Because none of these tests are perfect, patients with fatty liver are advised to discuss the risks and benefits of these tests with their doctor to decide which tests are best for their situation. In general, it is most beneficial to do a combination of tests to see if they all point to the same degree of fat in the liver and liver scarring.
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease treatment
Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for the treatment of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, but various medicines can be useful in managing the problems associated with the condition. However, studies have shown that both fat, inflammation and scar tissue can leave the liver. This means that Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can be reversible. Improving liver fat and inflammation is possible when people lose weight and/or modify their lifestyle. This is the first-line treatment for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis diagnosed with a liver biopsy and who do not have diabetes, significant heart disease, or cirrhosis will sometimes be asked to start Vitamin E as this is thought to help reduce liver inflammation. Various medicines can be useful in managing the problems associated with the condition, for example, the doctor may recommend medicine to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. If one develops severe cirrhosis, it may require a liver transplant or it may be possible to have a transplant using a section of the liver removed from a living donor. As the liver can regenerate itself, both the transplanted section and the remaining section of the donor's liver are able to regrow to normal size.
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Epidemiology
The Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease epidemiology section provides insights into the historical and current Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease patient pool and forecasted trends for seven individual major countries.

Key findings
According to American Liver Foundation (2022), Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is the most common chronic liver condition in the United States. It’s estimated that about 25% of adults in the US have Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Of those with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, about 20% have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (5% of adults in the US). Most people with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease have simply fatty liver.
According to the study conducted by Foschi et al. (2019), titled, “Prevalence of and risk factors for fatty liver in the general population of Northern Italy: the Bagnacavallo Study,” the prevalence of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease was 0.46 (0.41 to 0.51) vs. 0.22 (0.21 to 0.24) in citizens with than in those without altered liver enzymes.
