Abstract

Aims: To assess the relation between the grade of steatosis and anthropometric measures, lipid profile and serum adiponectin in non-diabetic patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Tropical Medicine and Gastroenterology, Qena faculty of medicine, South Valley University. Methodology: Fifty patients with US evidence suggestive of fatty liver disease and normal fasting and post-prandial serum glucose were included. No past or current history of alcohol consumption. Blood samples were taken to detect liver function tests, fasting lipogram, complete blood count and serum adiponectin. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumferences (WC) were measured for all patients. Liver biopsy was done to detect the presence and the degree of steatosis. Results: The mean age of patients was 40+/-12 years. Patients with steatosis showed significantly higher value for BMI and WC than those without (P value =0.000). Cholesterol, triglyceride and Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) also were significantly higher in patients with steatosis (P value =0.00). High density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and serum adiponectin were significantly lower in patients with steatosis (P value =0.00). Patients with severe steatosis showed significantly higher values for BMI and WC, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C and lower values for HDL-C and adiponectin (P value = 0.05) than those with mild or moderate steatosis. Positive correlations were detected between the age, BMI and WC, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C and the grade of steatosis and negative correlations with HDL-C and adiponectin. Conclusion: Anthropometric measures, lipogram and serum adiponectin are associated with progression of steatosis in nondiabetic patients with NAFLD. So their detection is important for evaluation and management.
