Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Treatment
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing in pediatric age group parallel to the growing prevalence of obesity and overweight all around the world. So changing in life style and interventions on obesogenic environment is cornerstone of NAFLD therapy in obese children. Some experts recommend that children and adolescents be encouraged to follow a low-fat, low-glycemic-index diet t...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor-I, inflammatory proteins, and fibrosis in subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
CONTEXT Inflammation may have a pathogenic role in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); by contrast, the role of anti-inflammatory molecules has not been addressed. Low circulating levels of the anti-inflammatory molecule IGF-I have been described in subjects with NAFLD. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to elucidate the clinical significance of IGF-I in NAFLD and its...
متن کاملHFE genotype, parenchymal iron accumulation, and liver fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Mutations in the hemochromatosis gene (HFE) (C282Y and H63D) lead to parenchymal iron accumulation, hemochromatosis, and liver damage. We investigated whether these factors also contribute to the progression of fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS We studied clinical, histologic (liver biopsy samples for hepatocellular iron accumulation...
متن کاملIncreased fructose consumption is associated with fibrosis severity in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
UNLABELLED The rising incidence of obesity and diabetes coincides with a marked increase in fructose consumption. Fructose consumption is higher in individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) than in age-matched and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls. Because fructose elicits metabolic perturbations that may be hepatotoxic, we investigated the relationship between fructose con...
متن کاملProgression of liver fibrosis is associated with non‐liver‐related mortality in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
In patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), prognosis and outcome, especially non-liver-related mortality, remain incompletely elucidated. We clarified the mortality from all causes in patients with NAFLD. A total of 4,073 patients with NAFLD diagnosed by ultrasonography were enrolled. We investigated the causes of death and analyzed the mortality from non-liver-related diseases ...
