Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has long been neglected by healthcare professionals unless cirrhosis develops; however, this disesae has now been shown to be a cause of poor health-related quality of life. The association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with chronic metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications, however, makes it difficult to define a specific role for liver damage in the poor perceived health status of these patients.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has long been neglected by healthcare professionals unless cirrhosis develops; however, this disesae has now been shown to be a cause of poor health-related quality of life. The association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with chronic metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications, however, makes it difficult to define a specific role for liver damage in the poor perceived health status of these patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
