Thyroid Nodule Prevalence in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease on thyroid nodule prevalence
 Methods: A total 384 patients who were followed up with Grade 2-3 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver diagnosis investigated for presence multinodular and/or nodular goiter. Demographic characteristics, biochemical data, and abdominal ultrasonography reports collected from patient files electronic records.
 Results: The ALT (cut-off level 10-40 U/L), GGT (cut-level 0 - 65 U / L), triglyceride (0-150 mg/dL), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index value < 2.71), TSH 0.45-4.12 mU which are metabolic parameters examined in our study, increased at statistically significant levels as fat liver. 45.8% (176/384) had Grade-2 Disease, 54.1% (208/384) Grade-3 Disease. As prevalence nodules (p=0.001).
 Conclusion: Our found that frequency nodules, disruption parenchymal structure, parallel non-Alcoholic patients.
