US Study Identifies 5 Fatty Liver Patterns
A American study has found that fatty liver disease, which affects about 30% of adults worldwide, is not a single disease but divided into five biological subtypes that differ in their risk of progressing to liver cirrhosis, liver failure, cancer, and heart disease. The results indicate that some subtypes are associated with common factors such as obesity and diabetes, while others are influenced by genetics and genetic mutations, with links to other health conditions like depression and sleep apnea. The study hopes that these findings will contribute to the development of "personalized medicine" by accurately identifying the disease subtype, enabling early detection and the selection of tailored treatments based on each patient's biological mechanism.
