Abstract:

NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) is a frequently occuring asymptomatic clinicopathologic situation which is defined by the presence of histologic findings in the liver of patients who don’t consume alcohol where these findings are similar to fatty degeneration caused by alcohol. In this study, we performed liver biopsy to the patients whose AST and ALT levels are increased 2-2.5 times. 33 patients (27 women, 6 men) who had steatohepatitis are included to the study. We aimed to find the frequency of obesity, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia going with the steatohepatitis were included to the study. Average age was 48.9±2.1, average BMI was 32.47±3.6 kg/m2. The main value of total cholesterol was 227.14±41.8, trigliseride was 164.59±84.7. According to the oral glucose tolerance test we found diabetes mellitus in 6 patients (% 18), impaired glucose tolerance in 8 patients (% 24).
