THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON FOLLOWING :

HIGHLIGHTS
NATURAL HISTORY
EVALUATION OF NAFLD
4
DEFINITIONS
5
NAFLD
(a) evidence of hepatic steatosis, either by
imaging or by histology
and
(b) no causes for secondary hepatic fat
accumulation .
6
COMMON CAUSES OF SECONDARY HEPATIC
STEATOSIS
Macrovesicular steatosis-
Excessive alcohol consumption- ongoing or recent consumption of significant
quantities of alcohol >21 drinks per week in men
>14 drinks per week in women over a 2-year period
Hepatitis C (genotype 3)
Wilson's disease
Medications (e.g., amiodarone, methotrexate, tamoxifen, corticosteroids)
Lipodystrophy
Starvation
Parenteral nutrition
Abetalipoproteinemia
Microvesicular steatosis-
Medications (valproate, anti-retroviral medicines)
Acute fatty liver of pregnancy
HELLP syndrome
Reye's syndrome
Inborn errors of metabolism (e.g., LCAT deficiency, cholesterol ester storage
disease, Wolman disease) 7
RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH NAFLD
Dyslipidemia
Metabolic syndrome
Hypopituitarism
8
THE METABOLIC SYNDROME
9
INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE
General Population
Incidence
Two Japanese studies 31 and 86 cases of suspected NAFLD per 1,000 person-years
respectively
Prevalence
10
INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE
PREVALENCE IN HIGH RISK GROUP
OBESITY: severe obesity undergoing bariatric surgery
NAFLD - 90%
unsuspected cirrhosis- 5%
Age
Gender
ethnicity
11
NATURAL HISTORY
12
The long term outcomes:
(c) patients with NASH (but not NAFL) have an increased liver-
related mortality rate.
13
NATURAL HISTORY OF NASH CIRRHOSIS VERSUS
HEPATITIS C CIRRHOSIS
14
EVALUATION OF INCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED
HEPATIC STEASOSIS
15
EVALUATION OF INCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED
HEPATIC STEASOSIS
assess
1. metabolic risk factors(e.g., obesity, glucose
intolerance, dyslipidemia)
2 alternate causes for hepatic steatosis – significant
alcohol consumption or medications.
16
SCREENING
NAFLD:
not advised
17
SCREENING
NASH CIRRHOSIS
gastroesophageal varices
HCC screening
18
INITIAL EVALUATION
exclude :
1. competing etiologies for steatosis
2. co-existing common chronic liver disease
hemochromatosis
autoimmune liver disease
chronic viral hepatitis
Wilson's disease.
PBC
19
ASSESSMENT OF STEATOHEPATITIS AND
ADVANCED FIBROSIS IN NAFLD
Non-invasive
Serum aminotransferase levels
ultrasound, CT, and MRI
NAFLD Fibrosis Score
Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) panel
Transient elastography.
serum/plasma cytokeratin-18 (CK18 )
Invasive
Liver biopsy
20
NAFLD FIBROSIS SCORE
21
PLASMA CK18
sensitivity of 78%
specificity of 87%,
22
LIVER BIOPSY
GOLD STANDARD
WHOM TO DO ?
1. patients with NAFLD who are at increased risk to have
steatohepatitis and advanced fibrosis.
23
MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH NAFLD
24
DRUG TREATMENT
METFORMIN :
25
THIAZOLIDINEDIONES
rosiglitazone :
Improved aminotransferases and
hepatic steatosis
but not necroinflammation or fibrosis
increased risk of coronary events
NOT RECOMMENDED
26
PIOGLITAZONE
significantly improve steatosis and inflammation but not
fibrosis .
27
VITAMIN E (Α-TOCOPHEROL)
decrease aminotransferases improve steatosis, inflammation,
ballooning and resolution of steatohepatitis
no effect on hepatic fibrosis.
28
URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID (UDCA) :
not recommended to treat NAFLD or NASH.
29
STATIN
30
BARIATRIC SURGERY
31
NAFLD IN PATIENTS WITH OTHER CHRONIC LIVER
DISEASES
32
When steatosis and steatohepatitis are evident
in patients with other types of chronic liver disease
then assess for
metabolic risk factors and
alternate etiologies for hepatic steatosis.
vitamin E or pioglitazone
NOT RECOMMENDED
33
SUMMARY
34
Incidentally Discovered Hepatic Steatosis having symptoms or signs of liver
disease or abnormal LFT -evaluate as suspected NAFL
If no symptoms or signs with norma LFT -assess for metabolic risk factors and
alternate causes for hepatic steatosis .liver biopsy not recommended.
35
NAFLD Fibrosis Score is a clinically useful tool for identifying NAFLD patients
with higher fibrosis.
serum/plasma CK18 is a promising biomarker for identifying steatohepatitis
36
Weight Loss 3-5% of bw improve steatosis up to 10 % improve
necroinflammation
37
-
omega-3 fatty acids first line agents to treat hypertriglyceridemia
statins - to treat dyslipidemia
