Understanding Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease
Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) represents a condition where fat accumulates in the liver due to underlying metabolic dysfunction. This umbrella term includes subcategories like Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), which is a more aggressive form of the disease, and MET-ALD, which refers to fatty liver in those who consume low to moderate amounts of alcohol. The primary risk factors related to MASLD involve insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, with studies showing a significant prevalence of liver fat among diabetic patients. It is important that healthcare providers screen at-risk populations, as timely intervention can prevent progression to more severe liver disease.
