Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with improved hepatic fibrosis after weight reduction.
A 65-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for an investigation of liver dysfunction. She had mild obesity with hyperlipidemia, but no history of alcohol abuse. Other known causes of liver dysfunction, such as viruses, autoimmunity and drug effects, were excluded. The liver histology was consistent with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). After diagnosis of NASH, the patient started diet...
متن کاملCharacterization of hepatic lipid profiles in a mouse model with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and subsequent fibrosis
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major health problem since it often leads to hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the underlying mechanisms of NASH development and subsequent fibrosis have yet to be clarified. We compared comprehensive lipidomic profiles between mice with high fat diet (HFD)-induced steatosis and STAM mice with NASH and subsequent fibrosis. The STAM mouse is a model that...
متن کاملNonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with diabetes: predictors of liver fibrosis.
INTRODUCTION Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is common cause of chronic liver disease strongly associated with insulin resistance leading to fibrosis. No factors that determine increasing fibrosis have been well recognized. Liver biopsy is considered as gold standard for diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. AIM To identify independent predictive factors of liver fibrosis in patients o...
متن کاملImpact of Betaine on Hepatic Fibrosis and Homocysteine in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis - A Prospective, Cohort Study
Introduction: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an important cause of cirrhosis and over the past decade has accounted for an increasing proportion of liver transplants in the United States. Unfortunately there is no treatment for NASH except for risk factor modification. The aims of our study were to assess the impact of betaine on liver function tests, homocysteine levels and hepatic fib...
