Relatively recently, the liver has been recognized as a major target of injury in patients with insulin resistance or the metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance is associated with fat accumulation in the liver, a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Excess fat in the liver is not a benign condition. Some patients with NAFLD develop necroinflammatory changes in the liver called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and a fraction of those will develop cirrhosis. 1, record 1, English, - nonalcoholic%20fatty%20liver%20disease
