Non-Alcocholic Fatty Liver Disease: Modern View on Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Treatment
Journal Title: Гастроентерологія - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 49
Abstract
The article describes the modern views on the causes, mechanisms of development and treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The main mechanisms for the accumulation of fat in the liver are an excess intake, synthesis, and their lack of their excretion. Besides numerous adipocytokines, the progression of fatty liver disease with cirrhosis is influenced by oxidative stress. For the diagnosis of NAFLD, modern instrumental and laboratory methods are being used, but the most sensitive method is a morphological study. The main objective in treating NAFLD — prevention of its progression. Treatment strategies are based on therapy of associated metabolic disorders (diabetes, hyperlipidemia) and includes lifestyle modification, use of insulin sensitizers. The article is also discussed new trends in the pathogenetic treatment of hepatic steatosis.
