Dysregulated Lipid Profiles of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) High Sensitivity Lipid Quantitation using the LipidyzerTM Platform

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an umbrella term for a range of liver conditions affecting people who drink little to no alcohol. As the name implies, the main characteristic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is too much fat stored in liver cells. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a potentially serious form of the disease, is marked by liver inflammation, which may progress to scarring and irreversible damage. This damage is similar to the damage caused by heavy alcohol use. At its most severe, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure. However, if caught early the fatty liver and fatty liver to NASH process can be reversed.
