Fatty liver disease and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are the major causes for chronic liver diseases and the associated adverse outcomes. Concurrent hepatic steatosis has been found to inversely correlate with hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity both in vivo and in vitro; however, the subsequent effects on the prognosis, including advanced fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, remain diverse and inconclusive. Although the newly-proposed criteria of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) help raise disease awareness and facilitate timely diagnosis and management, its clinical impact on patients with CHB, especially after taking the metabolic dysfunction into consideration, is largely unknown and warrants comprehensive investigations to improve the management of CHB population. In this review, these relevant issues are summarized and discussed.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with onset in youth may be more consequential for adverse outcomes than that detected later in adulthood. Transaminitis in the general population is a marker of the prevalence of MASLD. There are no previous community-based studies in Indian youth assessing the prevalence of transaminitis.

Sudden cardiac death associated with fatty liver disease.

Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc

February 2025

Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention, Department of Cardiology, Smidt Heart Institute, Cedars-Sinai Health System, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Background: Fatty liver disease or steatotic liver disease (SLD) affects 25% of the global population and has been associated with heart disease. However, there is a lack of postmortem studies in the context of sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between SLD and SCD.

Background: In the past few decades, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) became widely used antidepressants worldwide. Therefore, the adverse reactions of patients after SSRI administration became a public and clinical concern. In this study, we conducted a pharmacovigilance study using the Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database of the US Food and Drug Administration.

Insulin Resistance Mediates the Association Between Vitamin D and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Int J Prev Med

December 2024

Department of Endocrinology, Xuzhou Central Hospital, Xuzhou Clinical School of Xuzhou Medical University, Affiliated Hospital of Southeast University, Xuzhou Clinical School of Nanjing Medical University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China.

Background: Vitamin D (VD) deficiency and insulin resistance (IR) increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but few studies have explored the potential mechanisms by which IR mediates the association between VD and the pathogenesis of NAFLD at the genetic level using publicly available databases.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, and we utilized the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset, as well as data from GSE200765 obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) website. A total of 723 individuals who had completed liver ultrasound examination and the detection of VD levels were included in the final analysis.
