چکیده
The importance of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) was first recognized formally at a National Institutes of Health Consensus Symposium in December 1998. Since then, there has been a rapid growth of knowledge regarding nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children. The greatest advances have been made in the realms of awareness, diagnosis, and understanding of associated comorbidities. Challenges that lie ahead are centered on clinical management—the ongoing search for valid noninvasive diagnostic tools and effective therapy. This review addresses key clinical questions for which progress has been made.
