The different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). First, the healthy livers develop non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) with hepatocellular steatosis as the main feature. If left untreated, NAFL may progress to a more severe form of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), defined as inflammation and fibrosis in addition to hepatocellular steatosis. As the disease progresses, NASH may progress to cirrhosis and even to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
