Using a cadaver from the lab, we'll explore the liver's vital functions, the different types of fatty liver disease, and the alarming rise of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now renamed as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We'll also examine the diagnostic process, treatment strategies, and potential complications of MASLD, including its progression to more severe liver diseases.
