OBJECTIVE This study was performed to evaluate the effects of metabolic parameters and thyroid dysfunction on the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS The current study evaluated a total of 115 patients, 75 female and 40 male. Physical examination and anthropometric measurements were applied to all participants. Hypothyroidism was considered at a thyroid stimulati...

non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in the united states and other industrialized countries, and the reported prevalence in the developing countries is also rather high. this disease is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality and damage to the other organs. the cardiovascular system is, perhaps, the most vulnerable organ to nafl...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an aerobic exercise on serum level of liver enzymes and liver echogenicity in patients with non alcoholic fatty liver disease. BACKGROUND Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has different prevalence in various parts of the world. Obesity and low physical activity are main risk factors for the development of NAFLD. PATIENTS AND ME...

conclusions it seems that surrogate liver function tests and adipocytokine levels were correlated with the histologic findings of the liver. objectives the aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between serum adipocytokines and the histologic findings of the liver in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). patients and methods this case-control study was performed on ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the world, yet the complex pathogenesis remains to be fully elucidated. The prevalence of NAFLD has risen precipitously in recent years and is now a leading indication for liver transplantation. New waitlist registrants with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-induced cirrhosis increased by 170% from 2004 t...

BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently conceptualised as a clinical spectrum that results from a ‘multiple-hit’ process which begins with simple steatosis and subsequently renders the hepatocytes susceptible to a variety of insults. Ultimately, more serious liver injuries like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis may develop. Although the metabolic syndr...

CONTEXT Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the major chronic liver disease in the pediatric population. NAFLD includes a broad spectrum of abnormalities (inflammation, fibrosis and cirrhosis), ranging from accumulation of fat (also known as steatosis) towards non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The development of NAFLD in children is significantly increased. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A ...
