About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to establish a unified cohort for retrospective and prospective high quality baseline and follow-up data registration of patients with a diagnosis of NAFLD/NASH/MAFLD, according to standardized criteria.
This will allow future studies aimed at elucidate clinical presentation, natural history, response to treatment, genetic and metabolic risk factors, treatment options and outcomes of the disease. The cohort will allow investigators to carry out genetic, serological, microbiologic and immunological studies.
