Waiting for the changes after the adoption of steatotic liver disease
Clin Mol Hepatol. 2023 Sep 6. doi: 10.3350/cmh.2023.0291. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSteatotic liver disease was suggested as an overarching term encompassing various etiologies of hepatic steatosis. Experts from multinational liver societies went through the Delphi process, including four rounds of surveys, and consented to adopt a new nomenclature and definition instead of the conventional nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This was to improve the understanding of the patients and primary care physicians, with an explanation of the pathophysiology in the name of the disease. Also, it could minimize the stigmatization o...

Critical appraisal of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Implication of Janus-faced modernity
Clin Mol Hepatol. 2023 Aug 25. doi: 10.3350/cmh.2023.0277. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe existing term non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has raised substantial concerns due to its inherent disadvantages of using exclusionary diagnostic criteria and the stigmatizing word 'fatty.' Three pan-national liver associations set out to explore a new nomenclature to replace both NAFLD and its suggested alternative, metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). They surveyed if a change in nomenclature and/or definition is favored and which nomenclature best communicates disease characteristics and incre...
