Abstract :
Background
Fatty liver disease is a condition that can be
detected incidentally during routine checkups or imaging
tests. The rise in obesity and metabolic syndrome has
also contributed to an increase in fatty liver diagnoses.
This condition can be caused by alcohol consumption
(alcoholic fatty liver disease) or by other factors
(nonalcoholic fatty liver disease).
Aims & Objectives
This study aims to investigate the clinical
characteristics and inflammatory markers in individuals
with asymptomatic fatty liver disease identified through
routine imaging tests like ultrasounds (USG) and CT
scans of the abdomen. Specifically, the researchers will
measure serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive
protein (hs-CRP) to assess potential inflammation and its
association with coronary artery disease (CAD) risk in
this patient population.
Methods
The study appears to be investigating asymptomatic
fatty liver disease detected through ultrasounds in adults
(age > 14 years) who underwent health checkups at a
medical college between October 2022 and September
2023.
