“…Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a term used for a range of changes seen in the liver and encompasses various terms including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and non-NASH fatty liver (NNFL), which is a term used to describe fatty liver disease that carries a better prognosis than NASH and typically presents with steatosis but with minimal, if any, inflammation or fibrosis (15).…”

“…Neurological deficits have been reported occasionally, believed to be related to lipotoxicity. On external examination, there may be acanthosis nigrans, palmar erthyema, and spider angiomata (spider nevi) (15). Biochemical abnormalities include elevated liver enzymes, iron, uric acid, and immunoglobulin A (15).…”

“…Fatty liver is found in many conditions other than ALD and NAFLD. Macrovesicular and microvesicular steatosis can be seen with drug toxicity (Image 7), including nifedipine, diltiazem, tamoxifen, estrogen, and corticosteroids (1,15). Solvents and petrochemicals can also cause fatty liver.…”

Fatty liver is a common finding in clinical practice and at autopsy. It is most commonly seen associated with alcohol abuse and in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It may also be seen in many other conditions in both adults and children. It is now recognized that NAFLD, like alcoholic liver disease, may lead to end stage liver disease. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with increased mortality from other disorders, particularly cardiovascular diseases. Fatty liver may be seen in many conditions that concern autopsy pathologists, including drug toxicity, anorexia, hepatic ischemia, and heatstroke. In infants, steatosis is common in sudden unexpected deaths. Fatty liver has been associated with sudden death and this review examines the pathology and role of fatty liver in sudden death.

Background and aims: The purpose of this study is to determine which anthropometric measurement and ratio (BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, neck circumference, waist-height ratio, body shape index, body roundness index, visceral adiposity index) is a better indicator in healthy individuals with NAFLD and their biochemical parameters. Methods: The study included 41 healthy persons diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease between the ages of 30-64 in the gastroenterology outpatient clinic of Ankara Gülhane Training and Research Hospital. In the study, subjects were interviewed face-to-face using a questionnaire form that asked about their socio-demographic traits, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical markers. Results: Individuals with NAFLD had greater triglyceride, VLDL cholesterol, AST, ALT, and GGT levels than healthy people, as well as lower HDL cholesterol levels (p<0,05). persons with NAFLD had higher averages of body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist/height, hip circumference, waist/hip, neck circumference, body fat mass, body shape index, body roundness index, and visceral fat index than healthy persons (p<0,05). Waist circumference, BMI, waist/height ratio, body roundness index, and visceral adiposity index are the anthropometric parameters with the greatest performance requirements that can be employed in persons with NAFLD. Conclusion: Conclusion; It is believed that following patients at risk for NAFLD under the supervision of dietitians and using these anthropometric measurements will play a useful role in preventing the disease's course, progression, and consequences. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05810506.
