PREVALENCE OF NASH AMONG DIABETES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
BACKGROUND NASH, or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, was originally coined by Dr. Ludwig nearly 30 years ago to describe a distinctive entity considered by fatty changes with lobular hepatitis in the absence of a history of alcoholism. The main lesions described were steatosis, liver cell injury, and the unique zone 3 “chicken wire” fibrosis that remain central in establishing the diagnosis. Due to very few population-based studies and reliable non-invasive screening tools, accurate epidemiological data is not available in India. The incidence of NASH is initiated by many factors, including both environmental and genetics, therefore difficult to define. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were screened for steatohepatitis by ultrasonography. RESULTS The data showed a strong correlation between NASH, insulin resistance, obesity and dyslipidaemia. CONCLUSION Screening for coronary risk factors is important to the work-up and management of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
