ABSTRACT
Introduction: non-alcoholic fatty liver is the third cause of chronic liver disease in the world and is associated with obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 and hyperlipidemia, among others.
Objective: to describe some clinical, biochemical, echographic and histological aspects in a group of patients with liver disease by non-alcoholic fat deposition.
Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from September 2014 to February 2016, the sample was 41 patients who underwent an analytical evaluation and the histological and hepatic ultrasound findings were compared.
Results: the sex most affected was female (33, 80,5%); the most altered biochemical parameters were alaninoaminotransferase (34, 82,9%) and glycemia (33, 80,5%); 20 of 26 patients older than 45 years presented steatohepatitis with fibrosis and 22 of the total severe steatosis according to ultrasonography (53,6%).
Conclusions: female gender and age over 45 years predominated, the alaninoaminotransferase and the glycemia were the biochemical parameters that showed the highest elevation, the most relevant ultrasonographic finding was the severe hepatic steatosis and the existence of steatohepatitis with fibrosis prevailed since the anatomopathological point of view.
