Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease in the developed world. It is a spectrum of disease, ranging from hepatic fat accumulation without inflammation to steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease. MASLD is considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is associated with obesity, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The diagnosis of MASLD is based on [the] exclusion of other etiologies of steatotic liver disease, such as alcohol use, and supportive laboratory tests and imaging. 4, record 1, English, - metabolic%20dysfunction%2Dassociated%20steatotic%20liver%20disease

La excesiva lipogénesis provoca la degeneración grasa del hígado (hígado aumentado de tamaño y de color amarillento) debido a que se supera la capacidad de transporte de lípidos en el plasma, por lo que la grasa se deposita en el hígado. Las gallinas con hígado graso, además de reducir la puesta, son muy susceptibles al estrés, siendo la mortalidad relativamente alta. Este trastorno es relativamente frecuente en ponedoras morenas obesas, y en épocas de calor. 1, record 4, Spanish, - degeneraci%C3%B3n%20grasa%20del%20h%C3%ADgado
