Prevalence of gallstone disease in the patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Sanandaj: A case control study
Authors
Abstract:
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 215 age-, sex-, and BMI-matched healthy subjects. NAFLD and gallstone disease were diagnosed by sonography. The prevalence and risk factors for gallstone disease were evaluated in the groups and compared between the 2 groups. Results: The frequency rates of gallstones in the case and control groups were 10/135 (6.9 %) and 5/210 (2.3 %) respectively (p=0.04). The frequency rates of gallstones in the female participants in the case and control groups were 6.8% and 3.4%, respectively, and in the men were 6.9% in the case and 1% in the control groups. We found no significant relationship between sex and frequency of gallstones in both groups (P> 0.05). In the control group, the prevalence rate of GD in the subjects over 50 years of age were significantly higher than that in the subjects under 50 years of age (P = 0.04). However, there was no significant difference between ag e and GD in the case group (P = 0.51). Also, in both groups, the prevalence of GD was significantly higher in obese subjects (BMI> 30) (P> 0.05). There was a significant difference between the grade of fatty liver and the prevalence of GD (P = 0.01). Comparison of the risk factors associated with the GD, showed no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: The prevalence of gallstones was more in NAFLD than in normal population and was associated with grade of fatty liver disease.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease in Western countries in which men and women are affected equally (de Alwis and Day 2008; Willner et al. 2001). The prevalence and severity of NAFLD increase with obesity (Flegal et al. 1998 & 2003). Since obesity is known to have a genetic etiology, we propose that genetic factors influence susceptibility...

Background & Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, characterized by the deposition of fat in liver cells, can cause fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cell damage if not controlled. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of medication therapy and exercise training with diet on liver enzyme levels and liver sonography in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
