NAFLD is a common liver condition characterized by fat accumulation in hepatocytes without significant alcohol intake. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical history, elevated liver enzymes, and imaging, particularly ultrasound. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for assessing severity and fibrosis. Management focuses on lifestyle modifications, including weight loss through diet and exercise, which can reduce hepatic steatosis and improve liver function. Pharmacologic treatments, such as vitamin E or pioglitazone, may be considered in selected cases, particularly non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Regular monitoring and managing associated metabolic conditions like diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia are key to long-term management.
