non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in the united states and other industrialized countries, and the reported prevalence in the developing countries is also rather high. this disease is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality and damage to the other organs. the cardiovascular system is, perhaps, the most vulnerable organ to nafl...

aim : the aim of this study was to review cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) cases and to determine the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a cause of elevated alanine aminotransferase (alt) in healthy blood donors in the permian area and also assess risk factors of nafld such as body mass index (bmi) and correlation with metabolic syndrome in these subjects. back...

conclusions elevation of liver enzymes appears in 29 % obese children in a tertiary care centre. absolute alanine aminotransferase levels are significantly higher in obese than in overweight children. even obese children with normal liver enzymes show signs of fatty liver disease as demonstrated by liver enzymes at the upper limit of normal. results elevated alanine aminotransferase was observe...

background there are several studies in the literature investigating factors which can induce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) in different populations. however, the existing literature lacks powerful studies addressing the factors which may predict the severity of nafld. objectives in the current study, we aimed to evaluate factors independently associated with liver echogenicity in a...

background non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is a growing diagnosed condition which causes a wide spectrum of liver disorders. there is a lot of evidence introducing nafld as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad) but there is substantial challenge on the independency of this correlation. conclusions according to the results of the current study, the prevalence of nafld among t...

context non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is a chronic liver disease, with 5-10% of liver having extra fat. increase in its prevalence in all age groups is linked with obesity and type ii diabetes. the treatment of nafld remains controversial. a growing body of evidence suggests a relation between overgrowth of gut microbiota with nafld and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (nash). the obje...

Background: The world is now in the process of passing on health to non-diseases chronic, like non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is a major cause of changes in the lifestyle of people. This study aims to evaluate the effects of lifestyle on fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods: For this critical review, we identified articles by searching original studies and review articles published in peer ...
