Abstract
The term nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was initially introduced by Schaffner in 1986. NAFLD is a clinical entity characterized by the presence of hepatic steatosis affecting at least 5% of hepatocytes in individuals who consume little or no alcohol and who do not have a secondary cause of hepatic steatosis such as viral hepatitis, medications (such as tamoxifen, amiodarone and methotrexate, among others), or lipodystrophy.
