Resumen

La esteatohepatitis no alcohólica forma parte del espectro de la esteatosis hepática metabólica (EHmet) que se caracteriza por la presencia de esteatosis hepática en pacientes con disfunción metabólica o inmunomediada asociada a obesidad, diabetes, síndrome metabólico, dislipemia y enfermedades inmunomediadas. La EHmet es una enfermedad prevalente, heterogénea, compleja y dinámica. Es paucisintomática, manifestada por astenia y prurito que afecta la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. El diagnóstico se realiza por métodos no invasivos bioquímicos o de imagen (ecografía y resonancia magnética) y biopsia hepática. Su tratamiento se basa en intervención en estilo de vida promoviendo dieta mediterránea hipocalórica con el objetivo de perder peso, ejercicio físico para combatir la sarcopenia, así como abstinencia completa de consumir alcohol, en caso de no respuesta se utilizarán fármacos para promover la regresión de la esteatosis, la inflamación y la fibrosis.
