简要总结
This study aims to estimate the prevalence of Metabolic dysfunction - associated Steatoic liver disease (MASLD) among adults with primary hypothyroidism (overt or sub-clinical 1ry hypothyroidism) and prevalence of MASLD in Hashimoto-thyroiditis vs Euthyroid controls in non-diabetic patients.
详细描述
Metabolic dysfunction - associated Steatoic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease globally.
Metabolic dysfunction -associated Steatoic liver disease (MASLD) is the prevailing chronic hepatic disorder, where it is characterized by hepatic steatosis affecting more than 5% of hepatocyte in absence of excessive alcohol consumption (> 30g/ day for men and >20g/day for women), or other underlying chronic liver diseases, and it is commonly associated metabolic risk factors such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Hypothyroidism is characterized by the reduction or absence of thyroid hormones.it can be manifest at birth as (congenital) or develop later (acquired). The most common cause of hypothyroidism is primary hypothyroidism due to dysfunction of the thyroid gland.
Overt hypothyroidism is a prevalent clinical thyroid disorder characterized by elevated serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels as well as reduced free thyroxine (FT4) levels.

- •Presence of any systemic disease that commonly cause liver disease.
- •Severe hepatic injury and/or significant abnormal liver function defined as aspartate aminotransferase >5× upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or alanine aminotransferase >5× ULN or elevated total bilirubin > 2 mg/dl.
- •Pregnant women.
- •Patients with active malignancy.
- •History of bariatric surgery or ongoing weight-loss diet (hypocaloric diet) or use of weight-loss agents unless the diet or treatment has been stopped at least 3 months before screening and that the patient has had a stable body weight (+/- 3 kg) during the 3 months before screening.
