ABSTRACT

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a widespread liver disorder in the world in both developed and developing countries. It is the condition where the accumulation of lipids/fats in the liver occurs, primarily triglycerides in an individual who do not have any history of alcohol consumption in significant amounts (<20g ethanol/day) and known liver diseases.[2,3,4] It is known to cause abnormal liver function tests. It is a significant cause of cryptogenic liver cirrhosis, commonly observed in middle age and old age people. It is not indicated for a specific gender. The natural history of the disease is still unknown.[1]
