Clinical characteristics associated with hepatic steatosis on ultrasonography in patients with elevated alanine aminotransferase

Clinical characteristics associated with hepatic steatosis on ultrasonography in patients with elevated alanine aminotransferase

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The main causes of hepatic steatosis (HS) are alcoholic liver disease and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although liver biopsy is the gold standard for NAFLD diagnosis, the finding of abnormal aminotransferases in abstinent individuals, without known liver disease,...
