Dear Editor:

The natural history of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has yet to be fully defined. In the few relevant studies reported to date, repeat liver biopsies were performed in highly selected, predominantly non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients who may not reflect the general NAFLD population. Although newly developed, non-invasive means of documenting hepatic fibrosis will play an important role in providing natural history data, prospective studies implementing these techniques will take years and likely decades to complete.
