81 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Diagnosis

82 Diagnosis Goals Diagnostic Goals Determine etiology of liver disease Distinguish specific type of fatty liver Establish clinical severity

83 Diagnostic Goal #1 Determine Etiology is FLD Determine Etiology Consider NAFLD in patients with The Metabolic Syndrome obese type 2 diabetic hypertensive dyslipidemic Fatty liver on an imaging study Elevated serum AST or ALT Cryptogenic cirrhosis

84 Diagnostic Goal #1 Determine Etiology is FLD Determine Etiology Laboratory findings AST, ALT < 10x uln and may be normal Negative tests for other liver diseases HBV, HCV, AIH, PBC, HH, Wilson s, 1-AT Markers of metabolic syndrome Hyperglycemia, elevated HgbA1C, hyperlipidemia No specific serologic marker for NAFLD

85 Diagnostic Goal #1 Determine Etiology is FLD Determine Etiology Test limitations Standard imaging tests may under- or overestimate liver fat content Fat on imaging test does not exclude other liver diseases Positive tests for other liver diseases do not exclude NAFLD

86 Diagnostic Goal #2 Specify Type of FLD Type of Fatty Liver: Alcoholic (AFLD) vs. NAFLD History distinguishes AFLD/NAFLD NAFLD implies no or safe * EtOH ingestion women < 1 drink/d, men < 2 drinks/d Safe levels of alcohol may vary May often coexist

87 Diagnostic Goal #3 Establish Severity Establish Severity General Themes Clinical prognosis depends on histology Steatosis generally benign Steatohepatitis increases risk for cirrhosis Signs of portal HTN identify high risk group

88 Diagnostic Goal #3 Establish Severity Establish Severity Liver Biopsy is gold standard Limitations Sampling error Risk Expense Impact on management

89 Diagnostic Goal #3 Establish Severity Establish Severity Blood Tests Aminotransferase level not useful Can be normal in advanced disease AST/ALT ratio may help High in cirrhotic NAFLD Thrombocytopenia suggests cirrhosis Hyperbilirubinemia, hypoalbuminemia and elevated PT are late findings

90 Diagnostic Goal #3 Establish Severity Establish Severity Imaging Tests Cannot distinguish NAFLD from NASH or early cirrhosis Stigmata of portal HTN suggest cirrhosis May detect unsuspected HCC

91 Diagnostic Goal #3 Establish Severity Composite Indices Establish Severity Clinical/laboratory parameters age >45-50, obesity or DM suggest bridging fibrosis Fibrosis markers Platelets Fibrotest Emerging markers Elastography (Fibroscan/ultrasound, MR)

92 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Management

93 Weight Loss & Exercise are the Cornerstones of NASH Therapy Weight loss 3-5% weight loss improves steatosis 7-10 % weight loss has been associated with a significant reduction in NAS Weight loss surgery 69% had complete resolution of NASH 65% had partial or complete improvement in fibrosis Exercise in absence of weight loss decreases steatosis Ekstedt, J Hepatol 2007 Mummadi, Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2008 Pomrat, Hepatology 2010

94 Vitamin E Improves Steatosis & Inflammation RCT of 247 patients with biopsy proven NASH but without DM Vitamin E 800 units daily Vitamin E decreased lobular inflammation and steatosis No change in fibrosis Current recommendation: Consider use in nondiabetic NASH Sanyal, NEJM 2010

95 Pioglitazone Improves Inflammation in NASH Pioglitazone 30-45mg daily for weeks Necroinflammation and steatosis improved considerable in pioglitazone group No improvement in fibrosis Not recommended for NAFLD Belfort, NEJM, 2006 Sanyal, NEJM, 2010

96 Vitamin E and Prostate Cancer men randomized to selenium, vitamin E or both agents, or both matched placebos for 7-12 years. Compared with placebo, the absolute increase in risk of prostate cancer per 1000 personyears was 1.6 for vitamin E, 0.8 for selenium, and 0.4 for the combination.

101 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Terminology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Diagnosis Treatment

102 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Take Home Messages Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) NAFLD is an overarching term that encompasses NAFL and NASH. NAFLD affects approximately 20% of people; NAFL and NASH progress to cirrhosis at rates of ~3% and ~30% in 10 years, respectively. Insulin resistance is the underlying pathophysiological defect leading to NAFLD. NALFD is diagnosed by histopathology, with laboratory and imaging techniques providing much less definitive information. The treatment of NAFLD is largely oriented towards weight loss, with pharmacological approaches in development.
