Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease with an increasing global prevalence associated with tremendous clinical, economic, and health-related quality-of-life burden. Clinically, NAFLD is considered the liver manifestation of metabolic syndrome. However, diagnosing NAFLD presents significant challenges due to the limited noninvasive and accurate diagnostic tools available to not only accurately diagnose nonalcoholic steatohepatitis but also to stage hepatic fibrosis, the major predictor of long-term outcomes, including mortality.
