Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is often oligosymptomatic and linked to obesity. This study highlights NASH

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a growing concern, often associated with metabolic syndrome.
  • Patients frequently present with hepatomegaly and biochemical abnormalities.
  • NASH can mimic alcoholic liver disease and is a potential cause of cryptogenic cirrhosis.

Purpose:

  • To prospectively evaluate clinical, biochemical, and histological features of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
  • To assess the prevalence of steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in NASH patients.
  • To underscore the diagnostic challenges and clinical significance of NASH.

Summary:

  • A prospective study of 21 NASH patients revealed common hepatomegaly (100%) and abnormal liver enzymes.
  • Histological analysis showed significant steatosis (mean score 2.6), inflammation (1.5), and fibrosis (1.8).

  • Mallory bodies were present in 52% of cases, and 4 patients developed cirrhosis.

    • Impact:

    • NASH is frequently underdiagnosed and presents in various clinical settings, primarily obesity.
    • Histological findings are indistinguishable from alcoholic steatohepatitis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering NASH in cryptogenic cirrhosis cases.
