Overview
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be classified based on clinical presentation into non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Classification
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be classified based on clinical presentation into non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.[1][2][3]
Based on clinical presentation | |
---|---|
Non-alcoholic fatty aliver | Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis |

Histopathological classification
Histological classification of NASH inlcudes Grading and staging.
Grading
NAFLD activity score is employed for grading steatohepatitis of NASH. NAS represents the sum of scores for steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning.[4][5]
Component | Range | Score |
---|---|---|
Steatosis | <5% | 0 |
5-33% | 1 | |
34-66% | 2 | |
>66% | 3 | |
Lobular Inflammation | None | 0 |
<2 focci | 1 | |
2-4 | 2 | |
>4 | 3 | |
Hepatocyte Balloning | None | 0 |
Few ballooned cells | 1 | |
Many ballooned cells | 2 | |
Interpretation | 0-2 | Non-diagnostic |
3-4 | Borderline | |
5-8 | Diagnostic |
Staging
Based on the degree of fibrosis on biospy NASH can be classified into 4 stages.
Staging | |
---|---|
Stage 1 |
Zone 3 fibrosis |
Stage 2 | Perisinusoidal and portal/periportal fibrosis |
Stage 3 | Bridging fibrosis |
Stage 4 | Cirrhosis |
