Hypertension and Histopathology Severity of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Among Adults with Obesity: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: Background: Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for the majority of deaths resulting from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is associated with hypertension and this is a key predictor of severe liver outcomes and an indicator of nonspecific portal fibrosis. Aim: To assess the association between hypertension and NAFLD severity. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from Peruvian adults with obesity and NAFLD who attended a Peruvian bariatric center. The severity of NAFLD was ass… Show more

“…Moreover, this risk is independent of other cardiovascular risk factors or amount of cardiac arterial stenosis. 84 There is also an association between hypertension and steatosis, 85 and steatosis is a predictor of mortality in acute myocardial infarction with hepatic fibrosis having only a slightly increased risk of mortality compared with steatosis. 86 Finally, steatosis more than 30% predicts graft failure when steatotic livers are transplanted.…”
