MAFLD: Renovation of clinical practice and disease awareness of fatty liver

Takumi Kawaguchi et al.

Summary: MAFLD is a new definition of fatty liver that includes metabolic dysfunctions and is independent of alcohol intake and other causes of liver disease. This concept may have a significant impact on clinical practice and disease awareness.

From NAFLD to MAFLD: Implications of a Premature Change in Terminology

Zobair M. Younossi et al.

Summary: The article discusses the proposal to rename NAFLD to MAFLD, highlighting the shortcomings of the new term and warning that changing the name without a comprehensive understanding may have negative implications for the field. The recommendation is to establish a true international consensus group to assess the impact and consequences of the terminology change and make recommendations based on available evidence to move the field forward.

Differential Clinical Characteristics and Mortality Outcomes in Persons With NAFLD and/or MAFLD

Vy H. Nguyen et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals meeting the criteria for MAFLD had more comorbidities and worse prognosis compared to those with NAFLD only. Non-NAFLD MAFLD participants had the highest cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality, followed by NAFLD-MAFLD and non-MAFLD NAFLD participants. The MAFLD criteria should be considered in the general population to identify high-risk groups for early interventions.

The Latin American Association for the Study of the Liver (ALEH) position statement on the redefinition of fatty liver disease

Nahum Mendez-Sanchez et al.

Summary: The Latin American Association for the Study of the Liver aims to promote liver health and quality patient care, with a recent focus on fatty liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction. A consensus was reached to rename the disease as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease and to diagnose it using a set of simple criteria. This change is expected to improve disease awareness and advancements in various aspects of the disease.

Nomenclature and definition of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease: a consensus from the Middle East and north Africa

Gamal Shiha et al.

Summary: Fatty liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction is a global health problem, particularly prevalent in the Middle East and North Africa. The current nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for the disease have raised concerns among experts, leading to a proposal to rename it as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and diagnose it by positive criteria. Recommendations are being made to work with authorities in the region to implement these changes and improve healthcare for patients.

Recent studies have shown that a combination of pharmacotherapy and behavior-based interventions can lead to effective weight reduction, although careful consideration of benefits and risks is necessary when initiating drug therapy in obese individuals.

MAFLD Criteria Guide the Subtyping of Patients with Fatty Liver Disease

Jiaofeng Huang et al.

Summary: This study found that MAFLD patients diagnosed with different numbers of metabolic conditions tended to be older, more likely to be female, and had more severe renal impairment and liver fibrosis. Additionally, MAFLD patients diagnosed with fewer metabolic conditions were more likely to have excessive alcohol consumption. Among patients diagnosed with a single metabolic condition, those with diabetes alone had the highest risk.

Summary: Research indicates that the next silent epidemic may be linked to chronic liver diseases, specifically metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Current treatment options for MAFLD focus on lifestyle improvements and pharmacotherapy, while surgery is ineffective without managing the disease's comorbidities. Nanotechnology is seen as an emerging approach in addressing MAFLD, with nanoformulations aimed at improving drug safety, stability, and liver-targeting properties.

Role of Insulin Resistance in MAFLD

Yoshitaka Sakurai et al.

Summary: Metabolic dysfunction is closely related to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), prompting consideration of renaming it as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Factors such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome contribute to metabolic dysfunction, leading to insulin resistance and fat accumulation in the liver. Genetic factors also play a role in hepatic fat accumulation and fibrosis, exacerbating inflammation, fibrosis, and carcinogenesis.

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD)-A Condition Associated with Heightened Sympathetic Activation

Revathy Carnagarin et al.

Summary: MAFLD, the most common liver disease affecting a quarter of the global population, is closely related to metabolic syndrome and is thought to be driven by heightened activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Treatment strategies such as diet, exercise, pharmacological and device-based approaches have been shown to improve metabolic alterations in MAFLD by reducing sympathetic activation.

Mining Gut Microbiota From Bariatric Surgery for MAFLD

Wei-Kai Wu et al.

Summary: The progression of metabolic dysfunction associated with MAFLD can lead to severe liver conditions, but there are currently no FDA-approved medications for this disease. Recent studies suggest that the improvements in glucose metabolism after bariatric surgery are at least partly due to changes in the gut microbiota and associated metabolites. By utilizing modern tools like the rodent BS model and multiomics approach, researchers hope to uncover microbiota related pathways that could be potential therapeutic targets for MAFLD.

Evidence-Based Aerobic Exercise Training in Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease: Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Summary: This meta-analysis found that both continuous and interval aerobic exercise were effective in improving ALT levels in patients with MAFLD. All types of aerobic exercise protocols were also effective in reducing intrahepatic triglycerides and body mass index, with continuous and interval training potentially more effective for ALT improvement. Additionally, a longer intervention time (<= 12 weeks) may benefit the management of MAFLD.

Summary: Weight loss through bariatric surgery is a therapeutic solution for metabolic disorders such as obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. While associated with benefits like improved liver health, not all surgeries are beneficial for the liver and may even worsen liver conditions. Further research is needed to fully understand the risks and benefits of bariatric surgery in patients with liver disease.
