Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The patients be diagnosed with NAFLD should meet both clinical diagnosis, pathological diagnosis, and imaging diagnosis): Clinical diagnosis: 1. No history of alcohol or the alcohol intakes < 140g/week (female < 70g/week) in the past. 2. There is not diseases history which could result in the fatty liver, including autoimmune liver disease, DILI, or viral hepatitis and other diseases; 3. Based on the protopathy, there are some non-specific clinical manifestation, such as weak, nausea, emesis, anorexia, hepatalgia, and hepatosplenomegaly; 4. Appear the MetS-related component, such as obesity, IGT, lipid metabolism disorder, high blood pressure, high blood viscosity, UA, and hyperinsulinemia; 5. Inexplainable increased levels of serum ALT, AST, and GGT over 6 months. Pathological diagnosis: Biopsy pathological diagnosis must accord with the pathological diagnosis standard of NAFLD, such as the liver cell parenchymal fat change, ballooning change, and diffuse mild inflammation of hepatic lobule. Imaging diagnosis: Abdominal hepatic ultrasonography must accord with the standard of diffusibility fatty liver: 1) Liver echo are stronger in near field than kidney and spleen, be the bright liver; 2) Liver echo becomes week or fade away in the far field; 3) abnormal internal pipeline structures of liver. The degree of steatosis will be graded according to the results of MRI-PDFF: 1) Grade 0 is defined with the thresholds between 0-6.4%; 2) Grade 1 is defined with the thresholds between 6.4%-17.4%; 3) Grade 2 is defined with the thresholds between 17.4%-22.1%; 4) Grade 3 is defined with the thresholds higher than 22.1%.
