Title: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease - How relevant is this to primary care physicians and diabetologists?
Abstract: Metabolic-dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a newly introduced entity hoping to more precisely define fatty liver disease. Despite the controversies surrounding MAFLD, the definition is getting more widely accepted by the global liver-health community. MAFLD represents a cohort of patients enriched with more advanced liver disease, cardio-renal and metabolic complications with increased mortality. This review aims to provide all primary care physicians and diabetologists with a clinical management update from a non-hepatologist's perspective, and a summary of important findings from recent studies to raise disease awareness and highlight the relevance of MAFLD to their daily clinical practice.
