ORTEGA CHAVARRIA, María José; CORNELIO RODRIGUEZ, Georgina; RODRIGUEZ WEBER, Federico e DIAZ GREENE, Enrique. Prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver and its association with biochemical alterations in asymptomatic Mexican population. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.127-132. Epub 28-Mar-2022. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/93885.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, is considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Most epidemiologic studies derive from non-invasive techniques, such as the ultrasound.
Objective:
To evaluate the presence of NAFLD by ultrasound and its association with biochemical alterations with metabolic syndrome, without taking into consideration anthropometric measures.
Material and methods:
Observational, transversal and retrospective study. It was performed in asymptomatic and apparently healthy Mexican population that had a check up performed at the Diagnostic Clinic at Hospital Ángeles Pedregal, Mexico City in the time frame between 1st of May to the 31st of August 2018 with a total of 513 cases.
Results:
Prevalence of NAFLD found by ultrasound was 28.65% (147 cases). It was shown that serum glucose, triglyceride, HDL and VLDL cholesterol levels, aspartate and alanine aminotransferase had statistically significant p; the association with the male gender and the increase in age were also associated with HGNA.
Conclusion:
The presence of NAFLD by ultrasound, even incidentally, should compel clinicians to start a complete metabolic diagnosis.
