NON-ALCHOCOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE<br />

Kostovski A<br />

University Childrten Hospital Skopje<br />

Steatosis is characterized by accumulation of fat in hepatocytes.<br />

In adults it’s mostly caused by the alcoholic liver disease. Hepatic steatosis is a<br />

very rare condition in childhood. In pediatric patients hepatic steatosis is present<br />

in some metabolic diseases, after using some drugs, and more frequently in<br />

obese children. In obese children is known as Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease<br />

(NAFLD).<br />

In the introduction the main characteristics of the NAFLD in adults are given.<br />

After that the main pathophysiologic factors are presented. Among the others<br />

the main roles have insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Further on disturbances<br />

of the metabolism of glucose and lipids are explained (mobilization of<br />

free fatty acids ; decreased beta oxidation ; adipocytokines - TNF-α, adiponectin,<br />

resistin ; hypertrigliceridemia, leptin and genetic factors).<br />

Prevalence of NAFLD in childhood is disclosed in some epidemiologic studies,<br />

from different regions of the world.<br />

Some other metabolic and genetic diseases may also present NAFLD: Alström<br />

Syndrome, Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, Polycistic ovarial Syndrome, Turner Syndrome,<br />

Lypodistrophy, mulibery namism etc.<br />

Diagnostic approach and diferential diagnosis are discussed.<br />

Treatment is multidisciplinary with control of obesity and insulin resistance (with<br />

metformin, tiazolidinediones, ursodeoxycholic acid, Vit E) and diminishing of oxidative<br />

stress. Since the outcome may be severe and treatment may prove relatively<br />

ineffective, primary prevention of NAFLD should be a priority at pediatric<br />

age.<br />
