Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – a rapidly growing indication for liver transplantation in the modern world
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in many countries, involving about 25% of the population worldwide. This disease includes many genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors. It is closely associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrom...

NAFLD is characterized by macrovesicular steatosis of the liver. In the natural course of NAFLD simple steatosis progresses to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis and ultimately, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Cirrhosis with Nash and hepatocellular carcinoma is an indication for liver transplantation. Obesity is a growing problem in liver transplant candidates.
