Abstract:
Studying on 50 patients with fatty liver, aged > 16 years old, treated at Bach Mai Hospital from Dec 2002 – Jun 2003. All patients had laboratory tests such as: blood - lactose, liver enzymes, HBsAg, lipemia, liver ultrasound. Lipemia disorder occurred in 74% of these patients, and mainly increased triglyceride; the level of lipemia components was not different by severe level of fatty liver by ultrasound. In patients with fatty liver caused by alcohol, the level of HDL-C (1.55 0.52 mmol/l vs. 1.21 0.31 mmol/l) was higher than those without alcohol
