| Summary: | Introduction. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly recognized as an important and common public health problem that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatic failure (hepatocellular carcinoma – HCC). It may be the most prevalent liver disease. However knowledge of the epidemiology is limited. Most data came from studies conducted in Northern America, Western Europe, Japan and China. A first disease registry in NAFLD (DIREG_L_01903) was performed in 2007 in Russia. This study showed high prevalence of NAFLD within the GP-s patient flow (27%). These findings encourage to conduct a larger sample size study to evaluate the real prevalence of NAFLD in the Russian population and if this prevalence of NAFLD patients has changed in the last 7 years. |
