Clinical Characteristics and Metabolic Profiles of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in Lean Patients and Their Comparison with Obese and Overweight NAFLD.

Unlabelled: Non -alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease throughout the world. The spectrum of NAFLD includes a non-serious condition called fatty liver, a more serious condition named non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which may lead to severe liver scarring and cirrhosis. Obesity and diabetes mellitus are established risk factors for NAFLD.

Association between Serum Lipid Profile and Renal Dysfunction in Patients with Heart Failure.

Unlabelled: Renal dysfunction often accompanies heart failure which leads to an increase in hospitalization and mortality. The pathophysiological features have demonstrated that heart failure may cause reduction in cardiac output and decrease in renal perfusion, which leads to development of chronic renal disease. Thus, more attention should be paid to the associated risk factors with the aim to reduce the prevalence, hospitalization and mortality.
