[Correlation between serum 25(OH) vitamin D and liver fat content in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH) vitamin D and liver fat content in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Methods: A total of 120 patients with NAFLD admitted in our hospital between June and August, 2017 were enrolled and divided into 4 groups with different serum 25 (OH) vitamin D levels: >75 nmol/L (group A, =25), 50-75 nmol/L (group B, =35), 25-50 nmol/L (group C, =32), and < 25 nmol/L (group D, =28). For all the patients, serum 25 (OH) vitamin D level was measured by ELISA, and liver fat content was determined using in-phase opposed-phase TWI sequences.
