[NAFLD renaming to MAFLD, MASLD: background, similarities, differences, and countermeasures].

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic metabolic stress liver injury due to chronic malnutrition in genetically susceptible individuals. With the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, NAFLD has become the world's number one chronic liver disease, and the flaws of forty years of exclusive disease diagnostic criteria and stigmatized disease terminology are becoming increasingly prominent. To this end, in the past three years, the international consensus group and the three major hepatology societies have suggested that NAFLD be renamed metabolism-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and metabolism-associated steatosis liver disease (MASLD). Here is a description of the background of naming NAFLD, MAFLD, and MASLD, the similarities and differences of the three terms, the existing disputes, and our country's coping strategies.非酒精性脂肪性肝病（NAFLD）是遗传易感个体由于长期营养过剩导致的慢性代谢应激性肝损伤。随着肥胖、糖尿病和代谢综合征的流行，NAFLD已成为全球第一大慢性肝病，而沿用40年的排他性疾病诊断标准和带有污名化问题的疾病术语的缺点愈来愈突出。为此，近3年国际共识小组和三大肝病学会分别建议NAFLD更名为代谢相关脂肪性肝病（MAFLD、MASLD)。现简述NAFLD、MAFLD、MASLD命名的背景、3个术语的异同以及存在的争议和我国的应对策略。.
