Description:

This teaching unit represents a completely new set of images that illustrate the epidemiology, physiology, diagnosis and treatment of a rapidly emerging health concern: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The outstanding photographs, micrographs, illustrations and animations explain important concepts in our understanding of the metabolic factors that lead to fat deposition and liver dysfunction. These images provide a scientific basis for the treatment of NAFLD and the prevention of complications, including cirrhosis, portal hypertension and liver cancer. Images, including graphic representations of data from key studies, are accompanied by explanatory legends that contain recent literature citations, thereby providing a unique teaching and self-educational resource. The senior author, Anna Mae Diehl, MD, is Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Gastroenterology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC.

GTP Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is separated into the following sections: Part I: Introduction, Epidemiology and Definitions; Part II: Pathophysiology: Part III: Diagnosis and Treatment; Part IV: Illustrative Cases.
