May support adipose quantification for NAFLD risk stratification in Indians; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before practice change.
Cross-Sectional (n=21)
In Indian patients with NAFLD, subcutaneous and total adipose tissue volumes correlate with histological disease severity.
Choudhary et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (n=21). Adipose tissue volumes (VAT, SAT, TAT) was evaluated on Correlation of adipose tissue volumes with liver histology (NAFLD activity score). In 21 Indian patients with NAFLD, both subcutaneous and total adipose tissue volumes correlated significantly with liver disease severity as determined by the NAFLD activity score.
