Liver steatosis: The new epidemic of the Third Millennium. Benign liver state or silent killer?

Due to the complexity of international available guidelines, we decide to approach the main unsolved issues on this topic in the form of a dialog between a hepatologist and a man suffering from NAFLD, trying to give evidence-based answers to the more frequently asked questions from patients and their GPs. This is the third instalment of the Trilogy of Dr. Calm, a skilled hepatologist who will try to clearly explain to his patient Mr. Frightened the natural history of NAFLD, the diagnostic workup, indications for liver biopsy and suggested medical treatments, advicing him on the importance of dietary intervention and lifestyle modifications.
