Hyperuricemia as a predictor of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently a widespread disease among the adult population and, being a component of the metabolic syndrome (MS), is often associated with obesity, insulin resistance (IR), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Many authors in scientific studies have found that hyperuricemia (HU) can be considered as a predictor of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as well as other diseases associated with metabolic syndrome (MS).
