临床研究表明,慢性脂肪肝与肝纤维化和肝硬化关系密切。无论慢性脂肪肝的病因为何,部分患者最终可发展为肝硬化。尤其是酒精性脂肪肝,如仍持续大量饮酒,可经酒精性肝炎导致肝硬化。大量饮酒引起脂肪肝的最低时限一般为5年,引起肝硬化的最低时限为10～15年,但小于上述时限也可发 Clinical studies have shown that chronic fatty liver and liver fibrosis and cirrhosis are closely related. Regardless of the etiology of chronic fatty liver, some patients eventually develop cirrhosis. In particular, alcoholic fatty liver, if still heavy drinking, alcoholic hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis of the liver. A large number of alcoholic fatty liver caused by the minimum time limit is generally 5 years, causing cirrhosis of the minimum time limit of 10 to 15 years, but less than the above time limit can also be made
