Abstract
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a form of liver disease resembling alcoholic liver disease in a patient who did not consume significant amount of alcohol. Our study is concerned with the relation between serum ferritin and patients suspected to have fatty liver.This study included 50 Patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. And 25 controls same age and sex. All the patients were subjected to detailed medical history and clinical examination. Full physical examination was performed including mea»surement of weight, height and body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP, respectively), abdominal examination with stress on hepatosplenomegaly and ascites in addition to examina»tion of the other systems of body. Abdominal ultrasono»graphy was carried on to detect fatty liver and exclusion of other hepatic or abdominal problems. Routine laboratory tests including liver function tests (liver enzymes -ALT and AST-, serum total bilirubin, albumin, prothrombin time and INR), complete blood count (CBC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), (HbAiC) and fasting lipid profile including serum total cholesterol, triglyc»eride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were performed. Serum ferritin and iron were determined
