Background
- Formerly known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
Bile duct and pancreas anatomy. 1. Bile ducts: 2. Intrahepatic bile ducts; 3. Left and right hepatic ducts; 4. Common hepatic duct; 5. Cystic duct; 6. Common bile duct; 7. Sphincter of Oddi; 8. Major duodenal papilla; 9. Gallbladder; 10-11. Right and left lobes of liver; 12. Spleen; 13. Esophagus; 14. Stomach; 15. Pancreas: 16. Accessory pancreatic duct; 17. Pancreatic duct; 18. Small intestine; 19. Duodenum; 20. Jejunum; 21-22: Right and left kidneys.
- Fatty liver disease due to causes other than excessive alcohol
- Associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
Clinical Features
- Often asymptomatic or with mild RUQ discomfort
- Signs of portal hypertension (e.g. ascites) if advanced fibrosis
- Hepatomegaly
Differential Diagnosis
Hepatic Dysfunction
Infectious
- Hepatitis
- Malaria
- HIV (present in 50% of AIDS patients)[1]
- EBV
- Babesiosis, leptospirosis
- Typhoid
- Hepatic abscess, amebiasis
Neoplastic
Metabolic
Biliary
- Biliary cirrhosis
Drugs
- Alcoholic cirrhosis
- Alcoholic hepatitis
- Hepatotoxic drugs
Miscellaneous
- Other causes of cirrhosis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Veno-occlusive disease
- CHF (right heart failure)
Evaluation
Management
- Treat complications of portal hypertension, if present
- Counsel on weight loss, increased coffee consumption
- Vitamin E if known F2 fibrosis
Disposition
- Discharge unless complications
