A Study of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver among Adults Using Ultrasonography

ABSTRACT

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common condition in Western

countries. However, their metabolic characteristics are poorly known even

though they could be important. Therefore, the objective of this study was to

study the incidence & Prevalence of Nonalcoholic infiltration in Saudi Arabia

(KSA) using ultrasound.

The present study is a retrospective cross-sectional observational study.

65 patients (33-males50.8 % and-32-females49.2 %) were enrolled in this

study, the selected randomly from patients who were referred to the

interdisciplinary ultrasound department (Saudi Arabia (KSA)) for

sonographic examination of the abdomen between March 2019 and

October 2019.

According to abdominal ultrasonography, these patients were divided into 50

subjects were diagnosed to have Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and 15

subjects were identified to have no fatty changes in the liver. The data, such as

patient characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment, were extracted from medical

records, and statistical analysis was performed.

A higher percentage of subjects with NAFLD had Both diabetes mellitus

&hypertension.

It concluded that Imaging studies assist in the diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty

liver disease through identifying fatty infiltrate in the liver. a high prevalence of

ultrasound-diagnosed Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients

with referral for sonographic examination of the abdomen among adults in KSA community ,the Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is most common liver disorder in Economically developed countries.
