Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Angulo, Paul·2002·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Alcohol abuse is the most common cause of fatty liver disease, but it is now apparent that fat deposition in the liver, and its consequences, may occur without alcohol abuse. The principal risk factors are obesity, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. The disorder has a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic steatosis to steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. This article provides a broad overview of this increasingly recognized liver disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
