Overview
NAFLD/NASH was first described in a 1980 series of obese, non-alcoholic patients of the Mayo Clinic.[1] Since that seminal description, our understanding of NAFLD has progressed minimally. [2] The disease is most closely associated with the increasing obesity, insulin resistance, type two diabetes mellitus and hyperlipedmia endemic to the developed world. Roughly half of all patients with NAFLD, however, do not meet criteria for metabolic syndrome. [3]
