Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease Shows Distinct Pathogenic Pathways
Research presented by scientists at Menoufia University has highlighted the complex relationship between cumulative metabolic burden and the severity of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The study revealed that metabolic burden strongly predicts steatosis but not fibrosis, indicating distinct pathogenic pathways. Fibrosis,
