Other less common causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease include oxidative stress, hormonal imbalances, endotoxemia and mitochondrial abnormalities.
Causes
- The most common cause of NAFLD are conditions associated with obesity such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. It is estimated that approximately 80% of the obese people suffer from NAFLD.[1][2][3]
- Less common causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease include hypertension and dyslipidemia.
Secondary NAFLD
Secondary non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can also be defined as injury to liver caused by either medications, surgery and other diseases.
- Amiodarone
- Antiviral drugs (nucleoside analogues)
- Aspirin / NSAIDS
- Corticosteroids
- Methotrexate
- Nifedipine
- Perhexiline
