Nicht-alkoholische Fettlebererkrankung (NAFLD)

Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease in Europe and in the USA with rising prevalence. Patients with a metabolic syndrome (diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia) are patients at risk with the highest prevalence for NAFLD. Progression from a non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) occurs in 5-20% of patients with the potential to develop a liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. NASH patients and NAFLD patients with higher fibrosis should be identifie… Show more

“…[2,3] NAFLD encompasses a spectrum of pathological processes ranging from simple fatty liver, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and cirrhosis. [4] Although it is well-recognized that obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome may influence the development and progression of NAFLD, inherited factors, and in particular single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes could play a significant role in the severity of liver disease and the susceptibility to NAFLD. [57] …”

“…MAFLD is a medical condition defined by the abnormal accumulation of fat within liver cells. The main reasons contributing to its development are hyperinsulinemia, resistance to insulin, increased lipolysis in peripheral tissues, and an imbalance of the redox system causing oxidative stress 2 4 .…”

“…NAFLD in the background of overweight or obesity suggests disorders of adipose tissue secretion of hormones adipokines, which reduces tissue sensitivity to insulin by reducing adiponectin levels and increasing levels of visfatin and resistin, as well as increasing the level of chemokines that activate macrophages and promote their accumulation in fatty tissue. Activated macrophages produce cytokines that negatively affect sensitivity to insulin [5].…”
