Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of NAFLD usually develop in the fourth decade of life.
- With the raising concern of obesity and metabolic syndrome NAFLD is becoming the most common liver disease in the world.
- Our understanding of NAFLD natural history is evolving with extensive research and we can classify NAFLD further by prospectively collecting the data with well defined and well designed studies. [1]
- If left untreated, Patients with NAFLD may progress to develop NASH which is a more serious complication.
Complications
- Common complications of NAFLD include: [2]
- NASH
- Cirrhosis
- Gastro intestinal bleeding
- Liver failure
- Liver cancer
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
