2 PATHOLOGY OF NAFLD NAFLD: a chronic liver disease with a wide range of tissue lesions Liver biopsy allows an integrated evaluation of tissue damages related to various pathophysiological mechanisms Histology is central for disease definitions and prognosis in NAFLD Non invasive biomarkers are still unmet need 2

3 OUTLINES CLASSIFICATIONS OF NAFLD : INTEGRATED APPROACH (NASH CRN) ANALYTICAL APPROACH (SAF) HISTOLOGY IN CLINICAL TRIALS 3

39 PATHOLOGY OF NAFLD Take-home messages NAFLD is the combination of several features of variable intensity and of different prognostic values. The dichotomous classification NAFL vs NASH is an oversimplification which is no more relevant in clinical practice. New proposals have been formulated. NASH is defined by histological criteria. Therefore, biopsy is needed if diagnosis and evaluation of severity are required. Histology is the only accepted surrogate marker in clinical trials Non invasive markers are urgently needed
