Discrepancies between Nonalcoholic and Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease by Multiple Steatosis Assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The redefinition of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has caused a revolution in clinical practice, and the characteristics of patients with steatosis but not MAFLD remain unclear. The aims were to compare the diagnosis rate of MAFLD in NAFLD using different steatosis methods and explore the features of non-MAFLD-NAFLD and MAFLD-non-NAFLD.

Methods

A cross-sectional study enrolling consecutive individuals was conducted at three medical centers in southern China from January 2015 to September 2020. Steatosis was evaluated by liver biopsy or magnetic resonance imaging-based proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), ultrasound, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), and fatty liver index (FLI).
