Fattyliveris a condition in which the cells of the liver accumulate abnormally increased amounts of fat. Although excessive consumption ofalcoholis a very common cause of fatty liver (alcoholic fatty liver), there is another form of fatty liver, termed nonalcoholic fattyliver disease(nonalcoholic ...

et al. Genome-wide scan revealed that polymorphisms in the PNPLA3, SAMM50, and PARVB genes are associated with development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in Japan. Hum. Genet. 132, 783–792 (2013). Article CAS PubMed Google Scholar ...
The prevalence of Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been steadily increasing worldwide, paralleling the global epidemic of obesity and diabetes. It is estimated that approximately one-quarter of the global population is affected by MAFLD. Despite its high prevalence, MAFLD often goe...
Test tubes containing solutions with CT scan density (CTD) similar to normal liver (“liver-equivalent”) or “fat-equivalent material” in variable proportions were prepared to mimick different degrees of hepatic fat content. At the time of the CT measurement, the test tubes were placed on the...
Following the first appointment, participants are referred to an upper abdomen CT scan before the intervention begins. CT scans Participants undergo a scheduled upper abdomen CT scan at the Radiology Unit of the Professor Edgard Santos University Hospital Complex. NAFLD is confirmed by a radiologist ...
The aim of this study was to describe gray-scale appearance of liver parenchyma and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) by pulse inversion (PI) ultrasound (US)

The liver morphological changes in relation to fibrosis stage in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have not yet been clearly understood. This study was to develop a liver surface nodularity (LSN) quantification program and to compare the fibrosis grades in simple steatosis (SS) and nonalco...
Corrected T1 (cT1) value is a novel MRI-based quantitative metric for assessing a composite of liver inflammation and fibrosis. It has been shown to distinguish between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. However, these studies were conducted in patients at ...
