Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by evidence of hepatic steatosis and associates with obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance etc. The spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ranges from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is characterized by inflammation and may progress to fibrosis, resulting in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, the incidence of NAFLD has increased significantly, which caused a severe economic burden worldwide.
