#227 Baffled by NAFLD?

Published: July 27, 2020, 7 a.m.

Swim through the sea of acronyms as Dr Scott Matherly (@liverprof) helps us become a little less baffled by the thought of NAFLD. We discuss the initial diagnosis of fatty liver disease, indications for additional evaluation with imaging and/or biopsy, and potential treatment options. With a quarter of the world affected, it\u2019s crucial to understand the various forms of disease and how to counsel patients about this all-too-common condition!
