Overview
Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) disease may be classified based on clinical presentation into non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Clinical Classification
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be classified based on clinical presentation into non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.[1][2][3]
| Based on clinical presentation | |
|---|---|
| Non-alcoholic fatty liver | Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis |
|
|
|
|
| Based on Etiology | |

Histopathological classification
Histological classification of NAFLD includes grading and staging.
- Grade: Depending on degree of steatosis and necro-inflammatory activity
- Stage: Depending on degree of fibrosis.
Grading
NAFLD activity score is employed for grading steatohepatitis of NASH. NAS represents the sum of scores for steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning.[4]
| Component | Range | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Steatosis | <5% | 0 |
| 5-33% | 1 | |
| 34-66% | 2 | |
| >66% | 3 | |
| Lobular Inflammation | None | 0 |
| <2 focci | 1 | |
| 2-4 | 2 | |
| >4 | 3 | |
| Hepatocyte -Balloning | None | 0 |
| Few ballooned cells | 1 | |
| Many ballooned cells | 2 | |
| Interpretation | 0-2 | Non-diagnostic |
| 3-4 | Borderline | |
| 5-8 | Diagnostic |
Staging
Based on the degree of fibrosis on biopsy non-alochoic fatty liver disease can be classified into 4 stages.
| Staging | |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 |
Zone 3 fibrosis |
| Stage 2 | Perisinusoidal and portal/periportal fibrosis |
| Stage 3 | Bridging fibrosis |
| Stage 4 | Cirrhosis |
