"Some consider the terms "non-alcoholic" and "fatty" derogatory, and steatotic liver disease is now preferred 12, although the former terms remain in common use. Additionally, the use of the term "fatty infiltration" is incorrect because the abnormal lipid accumulation is intracellular, not extracellular."

Line 3:72 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>steatotic liver disease</strong>'

"Steatotic liver disease includes several separate entities 12:"

Line 4:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'Steatotic liver disease<strong> </strong>includes several separate entities'

"The degree of diffuse hepatic steatosis can be graded using several scoring systems, including the commonly used Saverymuttu grading system (see diffuse hepatic steatosis grading), the Hamaguchi score, US-FLI score, and hepatorenal sonographic index 2."

Line 49:230 · 'US-FLI' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Semicolons
suggestion

"Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis; the histological definition requires a minimum of 5% macrovesicular steatosis 5. Liver tests may be normal or liver enzymes may be elevated if the liver is inflamed. Imaging can also be used to assess fat content, see below."

Line 35:51 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"Clinical features include fatigue, right upper quadrant pain, and hepatomegaly; most individuals are asymptomatic."

Line 37:82 · Use semicolons judiciously.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Histology shows macrovesicular lipid accumulation within the affected hepatocytes, with or without inflammation 6."

Line 39:74 · Use the Oxford comma in 'hepatocytes, with or without'.
