Abstract

BACKGROUND:
The relative proportion of visceral fat (VAT) to subcutaneous fat (SAT) has been described as a major determinant of insulin resistance (IR). Our study sought to evaluate the effect of body fat distribution on glucose metabolism and intrahepatic fat content over time in a multiethnic cohort of obese adolescents.

NAFLD and liver transplantation in children - Working group report from the ILTS single topic conference on NAFLD.
Cananzi M1, Vajro P2, Rela M3, Dhawan A4.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
NAFLD has now become a common cause of chronic liver disease in children, however unlike adults liver transplantation is rarely required as treatment. It is important that in children presenting with NAFLD, secondary causes of fatty liver particularly inherited metabolic defects should be excluded.

Association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with thyroid function: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Guo Z1, Li M2, Han B3, Qi X4.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases. The relationship of NAFLD with thyroid function parameters and hypothyroidism remains controversial.

AIM:
To clarify the effect of thyroid function parameters and hypothyroidism on the development of NAFLD and progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma in an adolescent: A case report.
Takaki Y1, Mizuochi T, Nishioka J, Eda K, Yatsuga S, Yamashita Y.

Abstract

RATIONALE:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), among the commonest chronic liver disorders in children and adolescents, is considered a reflection of the current obesity epidemic in children and adults. This liver disease has been linked with various metabolic disorders, but not with prolactinoma (PRLoma).

Antituberculosis Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Children: Incidence and Risk Factors During the Two-Month Intensive Phase of Therapy.
Gafar F, Arifin H, Jurnalis YD, Yani FF, Fitria N, Alffenaar JC, Wilffert DB.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
As one of the most frequent and serious adverse reactions during tuberculosis treatment, antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATLI) in children has been studied insufficiently compared with adults. We aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of ATLI in children during the first two months of TB-therapy.
