Core Tip	Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to the accumulation of fat within hepatocytes and is becoming a serious public health burden. Some patients with NAFLD develop chronic hepatic inflammation, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Detection and diagnosis of NAFLD is important and liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing NAFLD. However, the invasiveness of this procedure limits its application. The development of noninvasive diagnostic methods for NAFLD is importance. This review focuses on the updates of noninvasive diagnosis of NAFLD. Besides, we review clinical evidence supporting association between NAFLD and the risk of cardiovascular disease because of the cross link between these two disorders.
