NAFLD is characterized by hepatic steatosis associated with metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obesity, and hypertension. Prevalence of NAFLD in US adults approaches 40%, with high-risk fibrosis more than doubling between 2000 and 2016 (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). Less than 5% of patients with NAFLD are aware of their condition, and 12% to 14% also have NASH, which can progress to advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Diagnostic screening and initial treatment for NAFLD can often be carried out in primary care settings.
