NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE: CLINICAL FEATURES, DIAGNOSIS AND OUTCOMES

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disorder 
worldwide, strongly associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic 
syndrome. The disease ranges from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis 
(NASH), fibrosis, and cirrhosis. This study evaluates clinical, laboratory, and 
instrumental findings in patients with NAFLD and assesses metabolic risk factors 
associated with disease severity.
