摘要

摘要: 非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)发病率逐年上升，正逐渐成为全球成人和儿童最常见的慢性肝病，其疾病谱中的非酒精性脂肪肝炎(NASH)可导致肝硬化和肝细胞癌。然而因NAFLD发病机制复杂，目前尚无有效的治疗药物。因此，NASH的新药研发是近年来研究的热点。本文总结了NASH发病机制重点阐明NASH潜在的治疗靶点及药物研究进展。

Abstract: The incidence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing year by year, and it gradually becomes the most common chronic liver disease in adults and children around the world. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in its disease spectrum can lead to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, due to the complex pathogenesis of NAFLD, there are currently no effective drugs for treatment. Therefore, the research and development of new drugs for NASH have been a research hotspot in recent years. This article summarizes the pathogenesis of NASH and elaborates on the research advances in potential therapeutic targets and drugs for NASH.
