Journal Article
Adding to the confusion in more than just the name
2023
Overview
Subsequent years have seen more than 4,000 citations for the two sentinel papers, over 7,000 publications using the MAFLD terminology and definition, and widespread acceptance in clinical practice guidelines including the first by the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of Liver (APASL) [4], the Middle East and North Africa [5], the Chinese Society of Hepatology [6], and many other national societies as well as patient organisations [7]. The fact that the proposal of MASLD has come after four decades highlights the inertia of societies and the importance of innovation and renewal from the grass roots in all scientific disciplines. First and foremost, as suggested by others in the field and patient groups, the term “fatty liver”, when used to describe a liver with fat, is not stigmatising [13,14]. [...]as circulated on social media and from first-hand experience, clinicians know from every day experience that when a patient is told they have MASLD, the first question asked is “what does steatotic liver disease mean,” to which the answer invariably is that you have a “fatty liver”. To be clear, MAFLD is a set of criteria for clinical diagnosis, while steatohepatitis is a histological diagnosis.
