Cause of Liver Cirrhosis

• Viral hepatitis

• Alcoholic

• Metabolic

• Cardiac cirrhosis

• Cryptogenic

• NAFLD

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver disease (Steatosis)

Fatty liver is excessive accumulation of fat insite the liver cell (Hepatocyte)

Fatty liver disease

• Fatty liver is reversible if the patient stops

drinking, other causes • Fatty liver can lead to steatohepatitis

• Steatohepatitis is fatty liver accompanied by

inflammation• Steatohepatitis can lead scarring of the liver and

developed cirrhosis

Symptoms and Signs

• Usually asymptomatic• Right upper quadrant pain or discomfort• Fatigue or maliase• Symptoms of associated condition• Hepatomegaly with or without tenderness• Signs of chronic liver disease

Diagnosis for NAFLD by noninvasive method

1. Ultrasonography

4 sonographic finding by diffuse fatty change in liver - Diffuse hyperechoice echotexture (Bright liver)

- Increased liver echotexture compared with kidney

- Vascular blurring

- Deep attenuation

2. Computerized tomography

3. Magnetic resonance imaging

Diagnosis for NASH

1. Histologic picture of steatohepatitis

2. Convincing evidence of minimal or no alcohol

consumption (< 40 gm/wk)

3. Absence of serologic evidence of viral hepatitis

Powell et al. Hepatology 1990;11:74-80.

Prevalence of NAFLD

• The most common liver disease in developed

countries • 20 – 40% in western industrial countries • 5 – 30% in Asia – Pacific region • Age 40 – 60 yrs, common in men• Alcohol consumption less than 20 gm/week

Clinical course and prognosis

• Clinically stable disorder • Markedly better prognosis than alcoholic steatohepatitis• NAFLD had slightly lower overall survival than expected

for general population • High mortality was associated with

• advancing age • impaired fasting glucose • cirrhosis

• Important cause of cryptogenic cirrhosis especially in• older • diabetic woman

Causes of fatty liver disease

1. Alcoholic fatty liver disease

2. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) • Characterized histologically by mainly

macrovesicular hepatic steatosis • Do not consume alcohol more than 20 gm/week

• NAFLD + Inflammation (NASH) ~ Alcoholic hepatitis• Macrovesicular steatosis • Mallory bodies • Ballooning degeneration• Hepatocyte necrosis • Fibrosis

Conditions Associated With Fatty Liver Disease

1. Alcohol

2. Metabolic Syndrome

3. Disorder of lipid metabolism

4. Total parenteral nutrition

5. Severe weight loss

6. Refeeding syndrome

7. Toxic exposure

8. Iatrogenic • Amiodarone • Diltiazem • Tamoxifen• Steroid • Highly active antiretroviral therapy

Pathophysiology of NASH

Insulin Resistance

Hepatic Steatosis

(Oxidative Stress)

NASH

Diabetes

Inflammatorycytokines

Obesity

Lipid Peroxidation

First step

Second step

Major risk factors for NAFLD

• Central obesity

• Diabetes mellitus type 2

• Dyslipidemia

• Metabolic syndrome

Who is metabolic syndrome?

Three Make The Diagnosis• Abdominal obesity

Men > 40”

Women > 35” • Fasting glucose > 110 mg%• Triglyceride > 150 mg%• HDL

Men < 40 mg%

Women < 50 mg%• Blood pressure : > 130 / > 85 mmHg

Management of Fatty liver disease

1. Prevention• Health promotion

• Prevention of cause

• Controlled associated condition

2. Treatment • No proven effective medical therapy for NAFLD • Modify potential risk factors

• Obesity

• DM

• Hyperlipidemia

• Weight reduction• Gradual weight reduction

• 1.6 kg per week

• Total 10%

• Increase physical activity and diet controlled

Diet for NAFLD

None

Therapy for Co-morbidities

Obesity• Diet with or without exercise

• Bariatric surgery

• Cannabinoid receptor antagonist

Hypertriglyceridemia• Gemfibrozil

• Clofibrate

• Statin

Hypertension• Angiotensin II receptor antagonist

Diabetes• Rosiglitozone

Potential medical treatment for NASH

• Vitamin E and C• Hypoglycemia agent

• Metformin• Pioglitazone• Rosiglitazone

• Probucal• Betaine • Ursodeoxycholic acid • Losartan • Pentoxifylline• Orlistat

Summary of studies using insulin sensitizers reporting effects upon hepatic steatosis

Summary• Fatty liver disease is the most common liver disease in

developed countries• Fatty liver disease can be lead to liver cirrhosis• The major risk factors are obesity, DM type2, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome• No proven effective therapy• Treatment are modify risk factors and weight reduction
