Abstract:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease in children and adults, and is closely related to obesity and metabolic factors. In recent years, with the changes in living standards and dietary structure, the incidence of NAFLD has been increasing year by year. Pediatric NAFLD has many similarities with adult NAFLD in terms of epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis and treatment strategies; however it has its own unique characteristics. This paper reviews the latest research progress of pediatric NAFLD in recent years at home and abroad.
