    Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common underlying causes of chronically elevated liver tests and liver disease in adults and children worldwide and may be strongly suspected if not diagnosed by ever evolving and available serologic and imaging-based noninvasive tests. However, the definitive diagnosis of the most progressive form of NAFLD, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and the identification of fibrosis stage still require liver biopsy evaluation as noninvasive testing has not replaced some of the specifics or the totality of information obtainable from liver biopsy. In this review, both the role and value of a liver biopsy evaluation in NAFLD/ nonalcoholic steatohepatitis are examined from publications related to a selected variety of settings. Details of the most commonly used semiquantitative methods of analysis are discussed, and some useful potential pitfalls for differential diagnostic consideration in liver biopsy interpretation are given.

    Abstract The diagnostic phenotype of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)--in particular, the most significant form in terms of prognosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)--continues to rely on liver tissue evaluation, in spite of remarkable advances in non-invasive algorithms developed from serum-based tests and imaging-based or sonographically-based tests for fibrosis or liver stiffness. The most common tissue evaluation remains percutaneous liver biopsy; considerations given to the needle size and the location of the biopsy have the potential to yield the most representative tissue for evaluation. The pathologist's efforts are directed to not only global diagnosis, but also assessment of severity of injury. Just as in other forms of chronic liver disease, these assessments can be divided into necroinflammatory activity, and fibrosis with parenchymal remodeling, in order to separately analyze potentially reversible (grade) and non-reversible (stage) lesions. These concepts formed the bases for current methods of evaluating the lesions that collectively comprise the phenotypic spectra of NAFLD. Four extant methods have specific applications; there are pros and cons to each, and this forms the basis of the review.

    Abstract Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations (RVCL-S) is a rare autosomal dominant disease resulting from a frame-shift mutation in TREX1, an intracellular 3'-5' exonuclease 1. Hepatic findings include an elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH). Affected individuals typically succumb to brain lesions before clinically apparent hepatic manifestations; thus, little else is known about the hepatic pathology. Autopsy reports and a liver section from each (n = 11) of three unrelated kindreds with the most common mutation in TREX1 (V235Gfs∗6) were studied with standard and immunohistochemical stains. Cases were compared with "normal liver" controls from similar autopsy years. Cases consisted of six men and five women who died at a median age of 50 yr (range, 41-60 yr.). Seven had elevated ALP. Two had liver atrophy. Foci of NRH were variably detected in all. Inhomogeneous distribution of other findings included patternless parenchymal fibrous bands, approximation of vascular structures, and commonly, architectural changes of vascular structures. Only bile duct epithelia were unaffected. In addition, small trichrome-positive nodules were found along vein walls or isolated in the parenchyma. Rare foci of non-NRH hepatocytic nodules were noted in 3. Increased CD34 and altered α-SMA IHC expression were variably noted. Periportal ductules and perivenular K7 IHC expression were increased to unpredictable degrees. The extensive but inhomogeneous histopathologic findings in livers of autopsied patients with RVCL-S appear to involve hepatic vascular structures. These findings validate inclusion of vascular liver involvement beyond NRH in this complex hereditary disorder.

    Abstract Regulating dietary fat absorption may impact progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here, we asked if inducible inhibition of chylomicron assembly, as observed in intestine-specific microsomal triglyceride (TG) transfer protein knockout mice (Mttp-IKO), could retard NAFLD progression and/or reverse established fibrosis in two dietary models. Mttp-IKO mice fed a methionine/choline-deficient (MCD) diet exhibited reduced hepatic TGs, inflammation, and fibrosis, associated with reduced oxidative stress and downstream activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathways. However, when Mttp
