NASH - Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis in Relation to Visceral and Subcutaneous Fat
Evaluate the relationship between the severity of fatty liver in NAFLD assessed by ultrasonography and CT and the visceral fat area measured by CT
Non alcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease
world wide . Severe forms of NAFLD such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis can progress to
end-stage liver disease such as cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore,
investigating risk factors associated with hepatic steatosis is required to perform effective
screening .
Hepatic steatosis develops for a variety reasons but obesity is the most common associated
condition.
Obesity is considered a gateway disease and NAFLD is considered to be one of the phenotypes
of metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by obesity with visceral fat accumulation,
diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia.
Individuals with severe obesity have a disproportionately high risk of comorbidities
including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The distribution of fat appears more important than the total fat mass in obesity .A
predominantly upper body fat distribution increases the risks for the metabolic complications
of obesity including hepatic steatosis especially when it is associated with increased intra
abdominal fat .
Most "metabolically obese" normal weight subjects have some increase in adipose tissue mass
and insulin resistance probably due to an increase in visceral fat. Thus, subjects with a
relatively low BMI can have gross increases in abdominal visceral fat, and others with a high
BMI may have very little intra abdominal/visceral fat .
Several studies suggested visceral adiposity to be a clinical predictor of hepatic steatosis
.
In addition, the severity of fatty liver has been linked to the VAT area as evaluated by CT.
