Serum visfatin level as a noninvasive marker for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in children and adolescents with obesity: relation to transient elastography with controlled attenuation parameter.
Elkabany ZA1, Hamza RT1, Ismail EAR2, Elsharkawy A3, Yosry A3, Musa S3, Khalaf MA1, Elgawesh RM1, Esmat G3.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Visfatin is an adipokine produced by visceral fat tissue and liver cells. Transient elastography with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) noninvasively assesses liver fibrosis and steatosis.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common reason for liver transplant in childhood, and outcomes worsen with older age at hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE). We determined direct health care costs in children with BA, compared to controls in a population-based cohort of children in Ontario, Canada.
