A diagnostic model for cirrhosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: an artificial neural network approach

  Background :Timely diagnosis of liver cirrhosis is vital for preventing further liver damage and giving the patient the chance of transplantation. Although biopsy of the liver is the gold standard for cirrhosis assessment, it has some risks and limitations and this has led to the development of new noninvasive methods to determine the stage and prognosis of the patients. We aimed to design an...

Alcoholic Hepatitis, Alcoholic Cirrhosis & Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Prevalence of gallstone disease in the patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Sanandaj: A case control study

Background and Aim: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and gallstone disease (GD) are both highly prevalent in the general population and have many risk factors in common. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of GD in the patients with NAFLD. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, our case group included 145 patients with NAFLD and control group consisted of 21...

Serum leptin levels in psoriatic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Background: The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is higher in patients with psoriasis than in the normal population. Serum leptin levels are higher in patients with psoriasis and in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver. The purpose of this study was to determine the serum levels of leptin in psoriatic patients with and without non-alcoholic fatty liver.<span...

Cardiovascular disease in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

As it affects almost every third individual in the general population in the Western world, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents the most common cause of chronic liver disease and the most common cause of liver transplantation. Recently, NAFLD has gained much attention in the metabolic field. A continuously increasing amount of evidence suggests that NAFLD is strongly associated...
