Current proposed treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its advanced forms. Although specific therapies for NAFLD are not approved yet, general strategies have been proposed to manage it, including: (a) lifestyle change (blue line), (b) glucose-lowering agents (including pioglitazone), or antioxidants (such as vitamin E), or other promising drugs (yellow line), (c) bariatric surgery in patients with severe obesity (i.e., BMI > 35 kg/m2) (light green line), and (d) liver transplantation in selected cases (dark green line).
