Stefano Ciardullo, Marco Carbone, Pietro Invernizzi, Gianluca Perseghin – 25 April 2022 – Recently, an expert panel proposed diagnostic criteria for metabolic dysfunction–associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of MAFLD among US adolescents and to investigate whether the new MAFLD definition is able to identify individuals with more advanced liver disease.

AASLD created a variety of resources to help hepatologists and liver patients navigate COVID-19.
