NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) is now recognized as one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease, exhibiting rising prevalence and worldwide distribution which follows the global trends of obesity and T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes). Data on NAFLD prevalence in the general population vary depending on applied diagnostic criteria. Moreover, large-scale population studies are hindered by the fact that the disease can remain asymptomatic for years, may coincide with other chronic liver diseases and requires a liver biopsy for definite diagnosis.
