Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk in Patient with Primary Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Introduction: The study aimed to investigate, in patients with primary non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the presence of possible relationships between the degree of steatosis or fibrosis and the individual cardiovascular risk and possibly whether a difference between those various methods exists.

Methods: Thirty-four adult patients with primary NAFLD were included in this study. Clinical evaluation included an ultrasonographic examination for the determination of the severity of steatosis.
