Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) typically presents as an asymptomatic elevation of liver-associated enzymes and has been associated with a number of clinical conditions that are included in the definition of the metabolic syndrome such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance. NAFLD also has been shown to be related to a variety of conditions such as cardiovascular disease and obstructive sleep apnea. This review will address the clinical presentation and natural history of NAFLD as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome.
