Study identifies 5 fatty liver patterns
An American study reveals that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (MASLD) is not a single disease condition but is divided into five distinct biological patterns. These patterns vary in their risk of progressing to liver fibrosis, failure, cancer, and heart disease, with some being linked to genetic factors and mutations, while others are associated with metabolic factors like obesity and diabetes. The findings show that certain patterns increase the likelihood of liver damage even in the absence of traditional risk factors. They also suggest that identifying each patient's biological pattern can aid in early diagnosis and precise treatment selection, ultimately improving treatment outcomes and reducing complications.
