Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical characteristics of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
METHODS:We compared the weight, waistline, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), uric acid (UA), and complication of cholecystolithiasis of 210 patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease who were diagnosed either clinically or by B ultrasound and/or CT (NAFLD group) and 248 normal persons (control group) from January 2008 to June 2009 in Third Xiangya Hospital.
RESULTS:The weight, weight index, waistline, blood pressure, FPG, TG, ALT, and UA in the NAFLD group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease had higher incidence of cholecystolithiasis (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION:The occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is related to weight, weight index, waistline, blood pressure, FPG, TG, ALT, UA, and cholecystolithiasis.
