Abstract

  NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is an inherited metabolic disorder characterised by triglyceride buildup in the liver (TGs). The four clinical-pathological categories frequently followed by the NAFLD pathway are non-alcoholic steatosis, steatohepatitis, increasing fibrosis/cirrhosis, and hepatocellular cancer. The prevalence of NAFLD is increased by obesity and insulin resistance. NAFLD is linked to liver disease in both children and adults and is influenced by age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Hyper-caloric diets, especially those high in trans-/saturated fat and cholesterol, as well as fructose-sweetened drinks, seems to enhance visceral adiposity in people of all ages. Reduced calorie intake, increased soy protein and whey consumption, and supplementation of monounsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and fibre, polyphenolic substances have preventative and therapeutic benefits are the initial steps toward its management. Along with good eating habits, exercise and physical activity that leads to weight loss and a reduction in liver fat buildup are also important. The patient becomes vulnerable to liver transplantation due to poor care (the end stage of NAFLD).
