Screening, Diagnosis, and Staging of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Application of Society Guidelines to Clinical Practice

Purpose of Review Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is the most common chronic liver disease affecting 30% of the global population. In this article, we summarize current expert guidelines, review clinical practice implications, and provide insight into the utility of non-invasive tests (NITs). Recent Findings The burden of MASLD is growing with the obesity epidemic, yet disease awareness and diagnosis is low. Patients can progress to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH, formerly NASH), which can advance to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, and liver cancer. NITs help identify high-risk patients who may benefit from specialty referral and MASH-directed therapy. Summary Global societies offer various recommendations for the screening and diagnosis of MASLD utilizing evidence-based, widely accessible methods such as serum indices, NITs, and liver biopsy. Several targeted steatotic liver disease (SLD) screening tools and novel therapies are under development..
