NAFLD can lead to non-alcoholic cirrhosis. I believe if it is diagnosed as NAFLD it can be reversed whereas if it progresses to cirrhosis the only cure is a transplant.
By the time I was diagnosed I had full blown cirrhosis. Fatty liver, the cause of NAFLD, is increasing as the cause of cirrhosis because of our abominable diets in this county, and probably every developed country.

There are many advocates now who feel if a person is diagnosed with diabetes 2, and/or is overweight, they should be checked for NAFLD. It would sure help many people, and it definitely would have helped me. I was quite overweight at one time and was diagnosed with diabetes 2 somewhere around 2009. Interestingly though, before my cirrhosis was diagnosed I was already on the road to eating healthier and losing weight. It was too late then though.
