Résumé
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide and has been implying an unprecedented burden to health care systems. The prevalence of NAFLD has exceeded 30% in developed countries. Considering the asymptomatic nature of undiagnosed NAFLD, high suspicion and noninvasive diagnosis have utmost importance especially in primary care level. At this point, patient and provider awareness should be optimal for early diagnosis and risk stratification for patients at risk of progression.
