Abstract
Background- The term ‘fatty liver disease’ (FLD) is used to describe a variety of liver diseases of
different severity, from pure steatosis to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Objective- To Study Of Cardiovascular Risk Assessment In Patients With Fatty Liver Disease.
Methodology- This prospective single center study was conducted from 1st March 2015 to 1st March
2016, in the Department of Gastroenterology in collaboration with Department of Community medicine at
Global hospitals. All Adult (18 years to 70 years) patients, both sexes, reporting to Medical
Gastroenterology with FLD were included in the study which were 32.Result - Maximum 28 subjects
(87.5 %) were male while 4(12.5%) were female. Male to female ratio was 7:1. Maximum patients
20(62.5%) belonged to Grade II fatty liver followed by 09 (28.12%) Grade I and 03(9.3%) Grade III.
11(34.37%) were overweight,17 (53.12%) were obese,only 4 patients had normal BMI. 27(96.42%) out of
28 male patients had abnormal waist while four (100%) out of 4 female patients had abnormal waist
circumference. 12(37.50) Patients with FLD had significantly higher levels of total
cholesterol.Conclusion- . FLD may serve as a trigger for assessment of cardiovascular risk factors, and
such patients should undergo further cardiovascular assessment.
