Abstract

Metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease has taken importance during the last two years, given the new criteria for diagnosis compared to the previous criteria used to define non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Multiple studies have also shown that this definition better adjusts to the pathogenesis and patient characteristics with fatty liver.

Keywords: MAFLD; fatty liver; metabolic dysfunction.
