Core Tip	This editorial discusses the article by Chen et al regarding the association between high-normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and the onset of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in China. As an indicator of liver function, ALT could be considered a marker of the presence of MAFLD. Therefore, tracking cumulative ALT levels could enhance early MAFLD detection. Improved detection through ALT tracking could enable timely intervention, thereby enhancing overall health outcomes for individuals at risk of developing this increasingly common liver condition.
