Association of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Hepatic Enzyme Levels – A Case Control Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as the hepatic representation of metabolic syndrome. It is one of the leading cause of asymptomatic elevation of serum transaminases in the western world. Our study aimed at recognizing the association between NAFLD and hepatic enzymes in our population. At the end of our study we were able to demonstrate significant elevation of AST (P=0.046) and ALT (P=0.021). So we conclude that although previously thought as a condition of unknown significance NAFLD is associated with an asymptomatic elevation of hepatic transaminases.
