  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) is becoming a primary etiology underlying the chronic liver injury-related fibrogenesis among general population. Histologic fibrosis has been demonstrated as the most important independent predictor for the major outcomes of NAFLD patients. NAFLD-related fibrosis has distinct characteristics through the disease course, which is largely attributed to its " metabolic" pathophysiology: The progression of fibrosis is correlated to the factors including obesity, metabolic syndrome components, aging, etc.;and the patterns of histologic distribution and evolution as well as the association with the other histological features are remarkably different from those of the other chronic liver diseases. Based on the criteria of current standard histology, accurate quantitative assessment of NAFLD fibrosis could be relevant in terms of research and utilization to stratifying the disease risk, monitoring the therapeutic response, as well as to facilitating the development of new diagnostic tools.
