Abstract

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver condition characterized by macro-vesicular steatosis and absence of secondary causes like alcohol consumption or long-term medication use. NAFLD is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality, with a global prevalence of 30.05%.The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing in India due to changes in lifestyle and junk food availability, early detection and treatment are crucial to reduce NAFLD-related mortality.Treatment for NAFLD requires a multicentric approach, including drugs like GLP 1 agonists, metformin, vitamin E, and Rifaximin along with non-pharmacological strategies.
