Association between Severity of Ultrasonographic Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Cardiometabolic Risk in a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital

Abstract

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a term used to describe a category of liver illnesses that include everything from mild steatosis to cirrhosis. Fatty liver disease is a global problem that affects people all over the world. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 115 individuals in this trial after removing those with a history of alcohol consumption. Male and female patients aged 19 and up were included in the study only after the patient gave their informed consent. Results: 115 individuals (72 [62.6%] males and 43 [37.3%] females) with an average age of 46.6 were evaluated. Patients over the age of 19 who had been identified with fatty liver by ultrasonography and had no history of alcohol intake were included in the study. Males were 46.2 years old on average, whereas females were 43.5 years old. The majority of the patients were in the 45–55 age range (33.9%), followed by 35–45 (26.1%) and 55–65 years old (20.9%). Conclusion: Fatty liver was more common in men of 45–55 years of age. The use of ultrasound to grade the severity of NAFLD is linked to anomalies in patients' metabolic profiles. Based on ultrasound, the Federal Reserve System is linked to increased NAFLD severity.
