Kidney transplantation (KT) is the treatment of choice for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, but there is a continued loss of grafts in the long-term (50% at 10 years) due to either patient 's death or chronic allograft dysfunction. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is very prevalent after KT (30-40%) and its components contribute to the appearance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which represents the hepatic component of MS. Furthermore, about 20-40% of KT recipients present early graft inflammation, including subclinical inflammation.

Aim: The definition of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has recently been proposed. We aim to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of noninvasive fibrosis markers in predicting liver fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and MASLD.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 2843 patients diagnosed with steatotic liver disease at six tertiary hospitals in South Korea.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is still the least studied and evaluated form in clinical practice among atherosclerotic pathologies, despite the increased mortality and comorbidities related to it. The relationship between steatotic liver disease and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease has been extensively documented. The purpose of this work is to perform a review of the evidence linking NAFLD or MASLD to PAD, and examine possible clinical scenarios that arise from this new terminology.

Since the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) published guidelines on non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis/idiopathic portal hypertension in 2007, there has been a surge in new information, especially with the introduction of the term porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). Non-cirrhotic intra-hepatic causes of portal hypertension include disorders with a clearly identifiable etiology, such as schistosomiasis, as well as disorders with an unclear etiology such as non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF), also termed idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH). This entity is being increasingly recognized as being associated with systemic disease and drug therapy, especially cancer therapy.

Background: We examined the comparative associations between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) definitions with risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and abnormal albuminuria.
Methods: We conducted a cohort study of 214,145 Korean adults with normal kidney function at baseline who underwent liver ultrasonography. Participants were further subdivided into no steatotic liver disease (no-SLD), NAFLD-only, MASLD-only, both NAFLD and MASLD, and SLD not categorized as NAFLD or MASLD groups.
