Its clinical presentation shows a varied picture of hepatic, neurologic or psychiatric symptoms, which might occur predominately or present jointly [ 5 ]. [academic.oup.com]

Treatment
Diet is usually the primary treatment for metabolic liver disease. Where indicated, liver transplantation provides lifelong functional correction of liver-based metabolic defects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment of WD is possible medically or by liver transplantation. The available medical treatments are copper-chelating agents ( d -penicillamine and trientine) and zinc salts. [academic.oup.com]
Significant updates on bariatric surgery, Barrett's esophagus, endoscopic ultrasound, endosonography, treatment of liver disease, and much more keep you current on the latest advances. [books.google.com]

Prognosis
There is a critical need for the development of biochemical markers that would predict the risk of expression of clinical phenotypes and prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Furthermore, the prognosis, progression and mortality of these diseases depend in part on age. [umcg.nl]
In a recent publication in Liver International (Liver Int. 2017 Mar;37(3):328–336), the use of the methacetin breath test (MBT) was shown as a valid, sensitive biomarker for follow up of liver function and determining prognosis of patients with acute [liverline.com]

Etiology
Patients were separated into 2 categories by etiology of liver disease: (1) genetic or metabolic liver disease (G/M) and (2) nongenetic or metabolic liver disease (non-G/M), which included all other remaining etiologies combined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In a meta-study of 1375 patients with various degrees of liver disease and etiologies, MBT well correlated with the degree of severity of liver disease. [liverline.com]

Nevertheless, despite their different etiologies, it is generally difficult to distinguish AFLD from NAFLD on the basis of morphological features alone [ 9 ]. [journals.plos.org]
Epidemiology
Clinical, experimental and epidemiological studies argue that NAFLD may be the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. [omicsonline.org]
[…] disease (NAFLD) has been rising in tandem with the rise in obesity ever since the term nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, a subtype of NAFLD) was coined by Ludwig in 1980. 1 Yet, despite an explosion of research on NAFLD and gains in understanding its epidemiology [mdedge.com]

Pathophysiology
Abstract The broad topic of metabolic liver disease may be divided into three pathophysiologic groups -- storage diseases, cholestatic syndromes, and metabolic defects contributing to hepatocellular necrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Understanding the physiological, pathophysiological, and developmental basis of these diseases is necessary for the identification of interventional targets and for the design of novel evidence-based strategies to prevent, treat or deal with the consequences [umcg.nl]

The pathogenesis of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome seems to have common pathophysiological mechanisms, with focus on insulin resistance as a key factor. [omicsonline.org]
Prevention
After the experience of the current case, primary portal vein diversion for APOLT with noncirrhotic metabolic liver disease patients to prevent functional portal flow competition is recommended. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cellular mechanisms are investigated with the aim of preventing and/or developing treatment strategies for age and obesity-related metabolic disorders. [umcg.nl]
The objective of this proposal is to prevent liver failure in a mouse model of metabolic liver disease using a novel gene repair strategy in hepatocytes. [grantome.com]
A BMI of less than 25 is the goal for prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome. [liversupport.com]
