Abstract

Background: The term "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease" (NAFLD) refers to a group of illnesses brought on by an accumulation of fat in the liver. It typically manifests in individuals who are obese or overweight. Most of the time, early-stage NAFLD is harmless, but if it worsens, it can result in significant liver damage, including cirrhosis. Additionally linked to a higher risk of major health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease are high liver fat levels. NAFLD increases the risk of heart problems if you already have diabetes. Early detection and treatment can prevent the progression of NAFLD and lower the amount of fat stored in the liver. Aim and Objectives: To study the serum levels of lipid profile parameters in patients with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Materials and Methods: This study was prospective, observational, carried out in the Dept. of General Medicine in our tertiary care hospital, in which 150 individuals were included. The subjects' blood pressure and demographic data were collected, and a blood sample was ready for analysis to look into the subjects' lipid profile. P < 0.05 was deemed significant in the independent sample t-test.
