Steatotic liver diseases are the most frequently encountered etiologies and r-epresent the main cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality. This article looks at the latest developments in these diseases, with a particular focus on MASLD (Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease).

Therapeutic management aims to improve metabolic function by treating risk factors and through lifestyle and dietary measures.
