PHILADELPHIA – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is on the rise worldwide, but many clinicians are unaware of how to recognize this potentially fatal condition, in part because it can be difficult to separate from common comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes.

Younossi, chairman of the department of medicine at Inova Fairfax (Va.) Hospital, discussed what clinicians should know in order to screen for and treat this disease.
