    Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the common liver disease worldwide because of the increasing rates in parallel to obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Mechanically, lipid accumulation and insulin resistance serve as the first hit, second hit is considered as inflammation and fibrosis in NAFLD. NAFLD is attributed to liverrelated morbidity and mortality, there is also growing evidence that NAFLD is a multisystem disease and is associated with hepatic (hepatocellular carcinoma: HCC) and extrahepatic (Cardiovascular Disease: CVD, Coronary Artery Disease: CAD, and Chronic Kidney Disease: CKD) diseases. The author previously suggested that an association between chronic liver disease (NAFLD/NASH and chronic hepatitis C virus infection: HCV infection) and systemic atherosclerosis may be present due to the presence of the inflammation as a common pa..
