Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

adults despite research showing its effectiveness. Moin et al., (2002) identified the need for additional studies to understand the barriers to prescribing metformin for prediabetes therapy. As a means to guiding research to the best evidence possible in order to decrease the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes worldwide Zou, Ye, Zou, and Yu (2017) researched the influences and interaction effects between risk factors. Their cross-sectional survey of 6,600 individuals was sampled for this study. Of that, 338 participants were classified as type 2 diabetes with three common variables amongst each of them: age, triglycerides, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Diabetes patients had a higher age and high triglycerides and total cholesterol with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol along with increased incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hypertension, high body mass index, and high uric acid. The conclusion of this study identified factors affecting the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and the interactions between those factors which could assist in preventative measures in the future. Evidence Synthesis The systematic reviews and meta-analysis along with the RCT supported the research of the stated PICOT question based on their hierarchy of evidence. The additional studies, although lower on the hierarchical structure of evidence, was useful in substantiating the pre appraised evidence. Several of the studies were conducted over several years and…

Alcohol destroys the body The liver is a vital complex organ with many functioning roles that keep the body in constant equilibrium. It holds a great role with digesting, absorbing, and transporting nutrients within the body. Liver disease is a serious matter that is faced in the United States and many other parts of the world. There are various ways that dietary nutrition can harm this much needed organ, but the culprit that will be discussed is alcohol. According to Blake J., Munoz K., & Volpe…

He is described as an alcoholic. He has great difficulties of expression which are not, properly speaking, either a denial or bad faith. Even as a caregiver, the alcoholic cannot express the complete truth about his drink. Rather he shows what he does not drink ('never whiskey') when he does not drink ('never in the morning'), Where he does not drink ('never in the bars'). The subject uses inverse expressions of what he wants to express "I have already stopped many times" which is equal to "I…

Introduction Many diseases morph silently into deadly conditions. One of those silent disease is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which is known to affect our liver. Liver has many important functions in our body among which some of them are detoxifying and purifying blood, production and secretion of bile, excretion of bilirubin, cholesterol, hormones, and drugs, metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, enzyme activation, storage of glycogen, vitamins, and minerals and…

Non-classical adrenal hyperplasia or NCAH is a disorder that affects both men and women from late childhood through the rest of their lives. Compared to its sister form, classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia, it is non-life threatening. The Mayo Clinic, a service that gives people medical information and helps set up doctor appointments, defines NCAH as “a collection of genetic conditions that limit your adrenal glands' ability to make certain vital hormones.” These vital hormones include,…

diagnosis (15). The use of a liver biopsy is done using a long needle to take a sample of the liver cells to examine in a laboratory looking for signs of scars and inflammation (15). Treatment Article (15) Obese is one association with NAFLD, therefore having a balanced diet and increasing the physical activity is one way in treating NAFLD (15). A diet that is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids is more beneficial compared to a low fat diet. The use of drinking coffee decreases the risk of…

Due to this, a combined liver and kidney biochemical profile was done in 2012, to assess for kidney and liver function, as familial hypercholesterolemia we have an increase of LDL. Increased LDL primarily comes from a liver dysfunction, but increased LDL will have an inhibiting effect on the kidneys and the sodium/potassium activity. • eGFR- Low-79 mL/min/1.73m2 (80-120) eGFR is defined as the estimated glomerular filtration rate. This is often measured in conjunction with creatine levels.…

Alcohol-related liver disease or ARLD is a common health issue in the United States that can lead to further complications or premature death. The contraction of this disease is influenced or caused by genetics, the environment, or even social acceptability of alcohol use. Nutrition plays a vast role in the factors of ARLD because the liver is the focal site for alcohol metabolism. This can cause complications in the metabolism of other essential nutrients in the liver. A lot of alcoholics…

Even though the cause of alcoholism is still unknown, it is known that dependency happens when you drink so much that chemical changes in the brain occur. These chemical changes in the brain…
