    2. Severity ranges from Steatosis to severe fibrosis (NASH)

III. See Also

  1. Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy
  2. Liver Function Test Abnormality

IV. Epidemiology

  1. Most common cause of liver disease in western countries
    1. NAFLD Prevalence: 30% of U.S. population (17% in Framingham study)
    2. Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) occurs in up to 3-5% of the U.S. population
      1. Affects up to 66% of age >50 years with Obesity or Diabetes Mellitus

  7. Fibrosis Probability Score (FIB-4 Index)
    1. Clinical score based on age, Platelet Count, AST and ALT
    2. Efficacy: Test Sensitivity: 85%, Test Specificity: 65%
  8. HAIR Score
    1. Severely obese (BMI >35 kg/m2) patient assessment for risk of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
    2. Assign one point each for Hypertension, elevated ALT, Insulin Resistance

      1. Premature COPD in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
    2. Consider differential diagnosis (see above)
      1. Alcoholic Hepatitis
      2. Hepatoxic Medication
      3. Viral Hepatitis
    3. Consider Family History
      1. Hemochromatosis
      2. Wilson Disease
    4. Evaluate for likelihood of NASH
      1. Diabetes Mellitus or Metabolic Syndrome
      2. Body Mass Index
      3. Waist Circumference
  2. Labs
    1. Start with liver specific first-line labs and common secondary cause labs above
    2. Consider uncommon secondary cause labs as above (based on history, risk factors)
  3. Diagnostics
    1. Consider liver imaging (e.g. RUQ Ultrasound)

XVII. Management: Approach

  1. Step 1: Initial
    1. Confirm likelihood of NASH as underlying cause
    2. Start with initial evaluation as above, including confirmation of Liver Function Test Abnormality
    3. Institute lifestyle change (e.g. weight loss, Healthy Diet, Exercise, hyperlidemia management)
  2. Step 2: Month 6 (following lifestyle change)
    1. Repeat Liver Function Tests
    2. If Abnormal Liver Function Testing
      1. Consider liver imaging
      2. Evaluate with noninvasive tests for liver fibrosis (see above)
  3. Step 3: Gastroenterology referral indications (for evaluation and liver biopsy)
    1. Noninvasive tests suggest fibrosis (NAFLD Fibrosis Score)
    2. Persistently elevated Liver Function Tests despite interventions
    3. Suspected secondary cause of Steatosis other than NASH (e.g. Hemochromatosis, Autoimmune Hepatitis)

XVIII. Management

  1. See Prevention of Liver Disease Progression
  2. Weight Reduction
    1. Liver Function Tests improve or normalize with as little as 5-10% weight loss
    2. Fibrosis may not improve after weight loss
    3. Low to moderate fat intake and low carbohydrate
      1. Consider Mediterranean Diet
      2. Avoid high fructose corn syrup (beverages, foods)
    4. Consider Xenical which does improve liver enzymes and liver histology
    5. Physical Activity 150 to 200 minutes of moderate to vigorous Exercise
  3. Restrict Alcohol intake (2 standard drinks/day for men, 1/day for women)
  4. Maximize Glucose control
    1. Conditions
      1. Type II Diabetes Mellitus
      2. Metabolic Syndrome
    2. Medications: Glucophage (Metformin)
      1. Reduces transaminases, Steatosis in non-diabetics
    3. Medications: Glitazones
      1. Glitazones may be used if AST amd ALT <3x normal
      2. Monitor AST and ALT every 3 months
      3. Reduces transaminases, Steatosis in non-diabetics
  5. Lipid Reduction as needed with AntiHyperlipidemic
    1. AntiHyperlipidemic may be used if AST,ALT <3x normal
    2. Monitor AST and ALT every 3 months
    3. Statins (preferred) decrease transaminases, Steatosis
    4. Mixed results with Ursodeoxycholic Acid
  6. Control Hypertension
    1. Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
  7. Supplements that may offer benefit
    1. L-Carnitine
    2. Vitamin E 800 IU/day (variable efficacy)
    3. Avoid Milk Thistle (ineffective)

Mikroskopicky se rozlišuje častější velkokapénková a malokapénková forma. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2013 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
Definition (MSH) Lipid infiltration of the hepatic parenchymal cells resulting in a yellow-colored liver. The abnormal lipid accumulation is usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES, either as a single large droplet or multiple small droplets. Fatty liver is caused by an imbalance in the metabolism of FATTY ACIDS.
