Abstract
- The diagnostic reach of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is broad, stretching from simple steatosis to cirrhosis. Expanded disease definitions are an important cause of waste in health care. Now is the time to revise the definition of NAFLD to include only those who have developed advanced fibrosis.
