BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Steatohepatitis is a common cause of liver disease due to alcohol (ALD) or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We performed this study to compare natural history of ALD and NAFLD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of ALD or NAFLD patients managed at our center (2007-2011). ALD diagnosed by excluding other liver diseases (except HCV) and alcohol abuse ...

BACKGROUND A strong association between obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been reported. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to evaluate if new obesity indices, including a body shape index (ABSI) and body roundness index (BRI), have stronger associations with NAFLD than waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). METHODS In this cross-sectional study,...

We have investigated the presence and the possible clinical implications of oxidative stress in children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The present study was an observational study of oxidative stress parameters in the progression of paediatric NAFLD. We observed the role of oxidative stress in children diagnosed with NAFLD by evaluating: serum protein carbonyls, hepatic expres...

Abstract Background The SAF score (steatosis, activity, and fibrosis) has been developed for the assessment of histological severity nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) steatohepatitis (NASH). aim this study was to assess usefulness in a homogenous cohort Egyptian patients with chronic HCV infection (CHC) without any alcohol consumption cirrhosis. We performed prospective cross-sectional i...

METHODS Eighty patients with NAFLD were prospectively randomized to receive 3 wk of KRG or placebo in addition to counseling on healthy eating and regular exercise. Liver functio...

background nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is being increasingly recognized as a cause of chronic liver disease. it has also been associated with devastating outcomes such as decompensated liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as diabetes and metabolic syndrome. objectives this study was conducted in order to assess liver fibrosis using fibroscan, and to compare these r...

Background/aimsWhereas nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystem disease, the association between metabolic dysfunction-associated (MAFLD) and extra-hepatic diseases not known. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare prevalence chronic kidney (CKD) in patients with either MAFLD or NAFLD, then examine presence severity CKD abnormal albuminuria.MethodsA total 12,571 i...
