Advance of hepatic steatosis raises alert

Hepatic steatosis, now reclassified as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), has become one of the fastest-growing clinical conditions in modern medicine, no longer being viewed as an isolated finding but rather establishing itself as an important systemic risk marker. Estimates from the Brazilian Society of Hepatology indicate that approximately three in ten adults present excessive accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes, driven by hypercaloric diets, sedentary lifestyle, insulin resistance, and excess visceral fat. Due to being asymptomatic in its early stages, the disease frequently goes unnoticed until it reaches more advanced phases.
