Clinical implications of renin–angiotensin system inhibitors for development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the therapeutic efficacy of RAS inhibitors (RASi) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) because they may reduce oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, and enhanced fibrosis. An objective of this study was to investigat...

An objective of this study was to investigate the role of RASi on NAFLD development and progression in a large cohort. We conducted a nested case–control study.
