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 کاملMagnetic Resonance Elastography Predicts Advanced Fibrosis in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Prospective Study
UNLABELLED Retrospective studies have shown that two-dimensional magnetic resonance elastography (2D-MRE), a novel MR method for assessment of liver stiffness, correlates with advanced fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Prospective data on diagnostic accuracy of 2D-MRE in the detection of advanced fibrosis in NAFLD are needed. The aim of this study is to prospec...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) of Liver Disease
MRE is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based technology for non-invasively characterizing the biomechanical properties of tissues and may serve as a potential surrogate to invasive liver biopsies for diagnosing and staging liver fibrosis. MRE can be used to quantitatively image the direct consequence of liver fibrosisincreased stiffness of the hepatic tissue. MRE is performed following three...
متن کاملNonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between NAFLD and the prognosis of CRC remains unclear. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates in patients with CRC and the secondary objective was to compare clinicopathologic...
متن کاملNonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (or NAFLD) is a recently recognized chron ic liver disease, strongly linked to obesity. As the number of obese Americans has doubled in the past three decades, not sur prisingly, NAFLD is becoming increasingly common. The hallmark of persons with NAFLD is having too much fat in the liver. This fat is deposited within the cells of the liver (the medical term is...
