Abstract
Aim. To present the materials of the Expert Forum "New therapeutic horizons of NAFLD," held on December 19, 2023, on the updated nomenclature of fatty liver disease (FLD), its main issues of diagnosis and treatment, the burden of cardiovascular risk in FLD patients. Executive Summary of the Resolution. It is recommended that the latest update of the FLD nomenclature be considered for adaptation to the clinical practice of doctors of all therapeutic specialties. Due to the high prevalence of a combination of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and an alcoholic component in the Russian Federation, it is essential to distinguish this subgroup of patients. Numerous clinical conditions associated with NAFLD include cardiovascular disease, pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus, polycystic ovary syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, sarcopenic obesity, cholelithiasis, and chronic kidney disease. Once a diagnosis of NAFLD has been made, further examination of patients should be aimed at detecting the presence of fibrosis using non-invasive methods such as transient liver elastography, FibroTest, and calculation of the FIB-4 fibrosis index. The original ademethionine can be considered a universal drug in treating NAFLD due to reducing oxidative stress and correcting concomitant fatigue and asthenia.
