Abstract

This is a summary article of a noteworthy publication that has reclassified nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), respectively. A new term, MASLD with increased alcohol intake (MetALD), has been proposed to classify patients previously classified as having NAFLD with excess alcohol intake. This article is designed to draw the reader’s attention to the changes in nomenclature in liver disease. This is pertinent in dermatology as many patients copresent with MASLD.
