onalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming one of the
most prominent causes of liver disease worldwide. The rising incidence
of NAFLD is linked to the obesity epidemic and the subsequent metabolic
disorders associated with it. Although obesity is a main risk factor for the
development of NAFLD, it can also arise in lean subjects at any age including
the pediatric age group. Non-obese fatty liver disease (NOFLD) can be
encountered in different clinical setting and in association with an array of
genetic, autoimmune, nutritional, drug-induced and metabolic, disorders
including lysosomal acid lipase deficiency. In this presentation, we will discuss
the general common features and the clinical conditions associated with
NAFLD and NOFLD.
