  Fatty liver with no evidence of liver cell necrosis (ballooning) or fibrosis (bridging): Low risk for cirrhosis or liver failure – Non-alcoholic fatty liver

In the USA, the most common causes of cirrhosis are alcoholic liver disease and chronic viral hepatitis, although there are other causes, include drug­ related, autoimmune

Thus, alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) is analogous to simple steatosis (NAFL), alcoholic hepatitis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and.. alcoholic cirrhosis to the cirrhotic

Alcohol is another cause of liver disease, and alcohol-related liver disease can range from fatty liver to alcoholic hepatitis with or without cirrhosis.. Along with nonalcoholic
