これの解説だが結局判明したこと少なすぎて曖昧な部分が多い
コーヒー摂取のメリット、GLP-1アゴニスト、オベチコール酸、エラフィブラノールなどを含め様々な治療薬物のベネフィット検討されている
脂肪肝と肝線維化同定するためのより正確なバイオマーカーを待ち望んでいるがNICEでは候補あるも米国内で確立していない

AJOR RECOMMENDATIONS
• Patients with incidental hepatic steatosis detected on imaging who lack any liver-related symptoms or signs and have normal liver biochemistries should be assessed for metabolic risk factors (eg, obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia) and other causes of hepatic steatosis, including alcohol consumption (>14 drinks per week for women; >21 drinks per week for men) and medications. ;肝臓関連徴候症状がなく、正常な肝生化学所見の場合、メタボリックリスク要素(e.g. 肥満、糖尿病、脂質異常)や他の脂肪肝原因(アルコール摂取:週間 女性14ドリンク、男性 21ドリンクを超す場合、薬剤使用)を評価すべき
• Routine screening for NAFLD in high-risk groups is not advised because of uncertainties surrounding diagnostic tests and treatment options, along with lack of knowledge about long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness of screening.;高リスク群のNAFLDルーチンスクリーニングは助言せず、診断検査・治療オプションの正確性欠如のため、そして、スクリーニング長期ベネフィット・コスト効果についての知識欠如故
• The FIB-4 (age, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, platelets) and NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS, which adds body mass index and albumin) are clinically useful tools to predict bridging fibrosis.;FIB-4(年齢、AST、ALT、血小板)とNAFLD Fibrosis Score((NFS, BMIとアルブミンを追加した指標)はbridging fibrosisの臨床的有用なツールである
• Vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) or magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can noninvasively assess for advanced fibrosis.;超音波エラストグラフィーの一つであるVibration-controlled transient elastography(VCTE)やMREは進行期線維化の非侵襲的なアクセスとなり得る
• Weight loss generally reduces hepatic steatosis, either by hypocaloric diet alone or in conjunction with increased physical activity.;一般的には体重減少は脂肪肝を減少させ、低カロリー食単打奥や身体活動増加を組み合わせることでなされる
• Pharmacologic treatments should be limited to patients with biopsy-proven nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and advanced fibrosis.;薬物的治療は、生検確認NASHと進行期線維化に限定すべき
• Statins can be used to treat dyslipidemia in patients with NAFLD, NASH, and compensated NASH cirrhosis.;スタチンはNAFLD、NASH、代償性NASH肝硬変患者の脂質異常治療として用いられる可能性
