简要总结

  • NAFLD (Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) has become the most common cause of liver disease in Western countries (hepatic manifestation of insulin resistance);
  • NAFLD represents a cardiovascular risk factor;
  • Lifestyle modification(weight loss)is the effective medical treatment recommended for NASH (Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis);
  • Ezetimibe could represent a novel safe treatment for NAFLD (Patel 2006. Here the investigators propose a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial to evaluate the addictive effect of ezetimibe on liver histology, biochemical and sonographic parameters in a small (n.40) number of NASH patients randomized for 12 months in two arms: lifestyle vs lifestyle+ezetimibe.
