Introduction: In 2023, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) was introduced following metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Both aim to address the limitations of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This review analyzes the similarities and differences between MAFLD and MASLD, focusing on their impacts on epidemiology, diagnosis, stigma, and related liver diseases.
Areas covered: Current evidence suggests that MAFLD criteria effectively identify individuals at higher risk through a good balance of sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, MAFLD is a more generalizable term that is easily understood globally.
Expert opinion: The transition from NAFLD to MAFLD and MASLD marks a significant advance in understanding fatty liver disease within hepatology. MAFLD identifies a homogeneous cohort of patients with fatty liver due to metabolic dysfunction and provides a valuable framework for holistic, patient-centered management strategies that consider various contributing factors to improve health outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Implicated in a plethora of regulatory dysfunctions involving growth and development, metabolism, electrolyte balances and reproduction, endocrine disruption is one of the highest priority research topics in the world. As a result, we are now in a position to better detect, characterize and overcome the damage mediated by adverse interaction with the endocrine system. Expert Review of Endocrinology and Metabolism (ISSN 1744-6651), provides extensive coverage of state-of-the-art research and clinical advancements in the field of endocrine control and metabolism, with a focus on screening, prevention, diagnostics, existing and novel therapeutics, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology and epidemiology.
