TO STUDY THE PREVALENCE OF HYPOTHYROIDISM IN NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE IN NORTHERN POPULATION

Abstract

Background: Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, independent of significant alcohol consumption. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between hypothyroidism and NAFLD, although clinical data and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in the Indian population.
