Pediatric Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Child-NAFLD)

Based on histological criteria, pediatric NAFLD has been divided into two entities: “type 1 NAFLD” and “type 2 NAFLD.” .
Nobili et al. 2019 Adv Exp Med Biol 1125: 85-100

As pharmacological treatments are not a first-choice option for pediatric NAFLD, there is a need to investigate and identify potentially modifiable risk factors.
Nobili et al. 2019 Adv Exp Med Biol 1125: 85-100

Children with NAFLD are diagnosed either through an assessment for obesity or fortuitously by liver ultrasound or deranged function liver tests (FLTs); however a formal diagnosis of NAFLD has to include a liver biopsy
