Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has long been neglected by health-care professionals unless affected patients develop cirrhosis; however, new research shows this disease impairs health-related quality of life. The association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with chronic metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications restricts our ability to define a specific role for liver damage in the poor perceived health status of these patients.Entities:
