Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Primary Hypothyroidism

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver condition world-wide. Hypothyroidism is also a common disorder affecting general population especially in women. Objectives: To determine the association between primary hypothyroidism and NAFLD. Materials and Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive type of observational study where 100 cases of primary hypothyroidism in age group 15-75 years of both sexes were selected from February 2018 to January 2019 in CMH Momenshahi having higher level of Thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH). In all cases ultra-sonogram of hepatobiliary system was done by efficient sonologist who was blind about clinical scenario of the patients. Results: Mean age of patients 29±SD7.57.Among 100 cases 56(56%) having NAFLD among them 95% were female and 5% were male. Conclusion: NAFLD was significantly correlated with primary hypothyroidism.

Ethylmethylhydroxypyridine Succinate

The aim. To study the quality of life and psychoemotional state of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease against the background of primary hypothyroidism during the use of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate.Materials and methods. 111 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver were examined, among them 35 were without thyroid dysfunction, 55 with compensated primary hypothyroidism, 21 with decompensated hypothyroidism. The patients underwent general clinical, biochemical, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of blood, instrumental studies, testing according to psychological questionnaires.Results. With decompensation of hypothyroidism, a statistically significant increase in indicators of depression, situational and personal anxiety was revealed in comparison with patients without hypothyroidism. The examined patients showed an increase in the level of situational and personal anxiety. The presence of hypothyroidism in the examined patients significantly worsens these indicators, leading to an increase in the degree of anxiety, aggravated by decompensation of hypothyroidism. A positive dynamic was revealed in the correction of the psychoemotional status of patients in the observation group during the complex treatment with ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate: the severity of depression, situational and personal anxiety, manifestations of dyspeptic and reflux syndromes decreased.Conclusion. Hypothyroidism affects the quality of life and psycho-emotional state of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: it worsens the degree of depression, situational and personal anxiety. The addition of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate to standard therapy with sodium levothyroxine in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the setting of hypothyroidism improves the quality of life and psycho-emotional state.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between non alcoholic fatty liver disease and coronary artery disease. METHODOLOGY: This cross sectional study is conducted from July 2016 to December 2016, in cardiology unit, Lady reading hospital. By using non probability consecutive sampling, patients of all age groups and either gender, presenting to cath: lab for coronary angiography, indicated for angina CCS III, were included in the study. All patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were subjected to screening for NAFLD by using ultrasonography. Patients were classified into having no, mild, moderate and sever NAFLD. Correlation between NAFLD and CAD, confirmed on cath: studies, was done using Spearman’s rho test. RESULTS: Total of 370 patients with mean age of 55.36 ± 10.07 years were enrolled in the study, of which 44.6% were females. Known risk factors for CAD like Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and smoking were present in 63.5%, 64.9% and 23% respectively. 28.4% of patients had no NAFLD, 28.4% had mild, 28.4% had moderate and 14.4% had sever NAFLD. 12.2% had no CAD while mild, moderate and sever disease was present in 36.5%, 31.1% and 2.3% respectively. By using chi square test co relation co efficient between NAFLD and CAD was calculated and came out to be 285.536 ( p value <0.000). NAFLD also increased the odds of having CAD by 2.9 times with a p value for odd ratio <0.000. CONCLUSION: NAFLD is strongly associated as an independent risk factor with CAD and increases the odds of having CAD.

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can increase the incidence of cardiovascular disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Thyroid hormones also play important roles in hepatic lipid metabolism and hepatic insulin resistance. Hypothyroidism is associated with reduced lipolysis and decreased liver uptake of free fatty acids derived from triglycerides. In recent years, the correlation between overt or subclinical hypothyroidism and NAFLD has been discussed. The relationship between NAFLD and thyroid function parameters remains unclear. Aim: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum level of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) within normal reference range and Non Alcoholic fatty liver Disease (NAFLD). Subjects and Methods: This is a cross sectional case control study on 40 patients with NAFLD and a control group of 20 healthy individuals, who were attendants of Outpatient Clinic of Internal Medicine Department of Tanta University Hospitals and EL-Menshawy General Hospital from February 2018 to the end of January 2019. Results: In the present study, univariate regression analysis showed that serum levels of AST, FT3, FT4 and Anti-TPO were independent risk factors of NAFLD, while in multivariate analysis the only independent risk factor of NAFLD was Anti-TPO serum level. Conclusion: Serum levels of AST, FT3, FT4 and Anti-TPO were independent risk factors of NAFLD in univariate regression analysis, while in multivariate analysis the only independent risk factor of NAFLD was Anti-TPO serum level. Despite the positive correlation between serum TSH level and grade of NAFLD, the study didn’t show serum TSH level as independent risk factor of NAFLD.

Abstract This cross-sectional study was conducted in Mayo Hospital, Lahore, from July 16, 2018 to January 15, 2019 to observe the frequency of occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese young medical professionals. One hundred and fifty-three subjects were selected using Simple Random Sampling Technique. SPSS version 25.0 was used to analyse the data. Out of a total of 153 medical professionals, 67 (43.8%) were males and 86 (56.2%) were females, median age was 23 years (inter-quartile range of 5 years), mean BMI was 22.79 + 1.57 kg/m2, 122 (79.7%) subjects had normal texture of liver on ultrasonography and normal ALT levels, 21 (13.7%) had fatty liver with normal ALT levels, and 10 (6.5%) had fatty liver and elevated ALT levels (NASH). NAFLD and NASH are common ultrasonographic findings in seemingly healthy young adults with normal BMI. Awareness programmes should be carried out at the national level to educate the general public about the prevention and treatment of this disease through lifestyle and dietary modifications.
