We read with interest the reviews by Ghouri et al. 1 and Martinez et al. 2 Ghouri et al. analyzed the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and concluded that although a diagnosis of NAFLD should prompt diabetes screening, it is insufficient for co

Children and adolescents with normal ALT levels differed significantly from those with abnormal aminotransferases in waist circumference (P ฯญ 0.05), triglycerides (P ฯญ 0.05), 2-hour glucose (P ฯญ 0.004), and insulin (P ฯญ 0.01) after a standard load of 75 g glucose. On univariate analysis, in the grou
It is uncertain whether patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) have a milder disease and should undergo liver biopsy. We reviewed the histological data of 458 Italian patients with NAFLD in whom liver biopsy was indicated by altered liver enz
We read with interest the articles on hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurements. [1][2][3] We fully agree on the need to standardize HVPG measurements to get reliable, reproducible, and useful data. 1 We also agree that before recommending such measurements in clinical practice, it is nec
The mechanism(s) determining the progression from fatty liver to steatohepatitis is currently unknown. Our goal was to define the relative impact of iron overload, genetic mutations of HFE, and insulin resistance on the severity of liver fibrosis in a population of subjects with nonalcoholic fatty l
