Differential Outcomes and Clinical Challenges of NAFLD With Extreme Obesity
Joud Arnouk, Vikrant P. Rachakonda, Diana Jaiyeola, Jaideep Behari – 21 July 2020 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely associated with obesity. The prevalence of extreme obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) of 50 kg/m2 or higher, is rising more rapidly than overall obesity. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and performance of noninvasive fibrosis assessment tools in NAFLD with or without extreme obesity.
