Core Tip	An international panel recently proposed an update to the terminology and diagnostic criteria for fatty liver disease. The authors proposed a change in the nomenclature from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Several studies have been published recently, and showed tremendous evidence of the superiority of MAFLD criteria over NAFLD criteria. Consequently, many societies, physicians and nurse groups, health stakeholders, representatives of regulatory sciences, and others endorsed the new nomenclature.
