Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

THOMAS WATCHMAN
About this episode

In this episode I cover non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

If you want to follow along with written notes on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease go to zerotofinals.com/nafld or find the gastroenterology section in the Zero to Finals medicine book.

This episode covers non-alcohlic fatty liver disease. We look in detail at the stages from fatty liver to hepatitis, fibrosis and finally cirrhosis, risk factors, how to investigate patients presenting with abnormal liver function tests, investigating patients known to have fatty liver and how to manage non-alcholic fatty liver disease.

The audio in the episode was expertly edited by Harry Watchman.
