ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol‐associated (ALD) are the major contributors to burden globally. The rise in these conditions is linked obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome increased alcohol consumption. MASLD ALD share risk factors, pathophysiology histological features but differ their thresholds for use, definition does not require presence of dysfunction. A recent multi‐society consensus overhauled nomenclature steatosis introduced term MetALD describe patients with dysfunction who drink more than those less ALD. This new terminology aims enhance understanding management poses challenges, such as need accurately measure consumption research clinical practice settings. Recent studies show that has significant implications patient management, it associated mortality risks severe outcomes compared alone. face progression, cancer cardiovascular disease. diagnosis involves adequate quantification use through standardised questionnaires and/or biomarkers well proper assessment stage progression using non‐invasive tools including serologic markers, imaging, elastography techniques genetic testing. Effective requires addressing both alcohol‐related factors improve outcomes. review intends provide a comprehensive overview MetALD, covering pathogenesis, potential diagnostic approaches, strategies emerging therapies.
