Systematic review with comparative analysis of recommendations for the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
We reviewed the current literature in English to find and critically analyze the main differences between the guidelines for the management of NAFLD from eight different scientific societies, whose reputation is recognized around the world and which represent clinical practice in different geographic regions. Scientific societies from Europe, America and the Asia-Pacific region have proposed guidelines based on the most recent data on NAFLD. These recommendations are consistent with the key elements of NAFLD management, but nevertheless show significant differences in some critical points. A comparative analysis of the most recent international guidelines for the management of NAFLD has shown some general orientations between the various guidelines, as well as discrepancies. Differences were noted in treatment strategies. Especially in the proposed drug treatment. These differences were considered in the light of the possible development of the NAFLD scenario in the coming years.
