NAFLD- Definition
NAFLD- Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Hepatic Steatosis by Imaging OR Histology
WITHOUT other etiology for hepatic fat accumulation
There is no significant alcohol consumption
there are no competing etiologies for hepatic steatosis
there are no co-existing causes for chronic liver disease

Fructose & Sucrose intake & Obesity & NAFLD Prevalence Rates
Jensen, Thomas et al J of Hepatology 2018
Added Sugar Consumption = refined beet, sugar cane sucrose & high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Currently 15% of overall energy intake in the ave. western diet – higher % in younger individuals & ethnic minorities
( African American, Hispanic, Native American & Pacific Islanders)
![Page 15: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Emerging Concepts · 2018-05-27 · Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Emerging Concepts Victor Ankoma-Sey, MD, FACP, FAASLD Director,](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060215/5f05c55a7e708231d4149fa7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Fructose : O.J. will kill you !
High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS = mixture of fructose & glucose monosaccharides; usual ratio 65:35)
Table sugar/sucrose (disaccharide of fructose & glucose)
Sweeteners in soft drinks eg O.J.
Unique hepatic metabolism of fructose : leads to hepatic and extra hepatic fat accumulation - a potent risk factor for NAFLD
Fructose intake predicts development of NAFLD & MetS/Obesity
A unique aspect of fructose metabolism :transient depletion in intracellular phosphate & ATP: transient block in protein synthesis; induction of oxidative stress & uric acid production; Insulin Resistance & mitochondrial dysfunction NAFLD .cf glucose. Mediated by Fructokinase C pathway in the liver.

NAFLD - Prognosis • Increased overall mortality compared to matched control populations.
• Commonest cause of death in patients with NAFLD, NAFL and NASH is
cardiovascular disease.
• Increased liver-related mortality rate – increasingly common indication for
liver transplantation (15-20%).

NAFLD fibrosis score
• < -1.455: predictor of absence of
significant fibrosis (F0-F2 fibrosis)
• ≤ -1.455 to ≤ 0.675: indeterminate score
• > 0.675: predictor of presence of
significant fibrosis (F3-F4 fibrosis)
NAFLD Fibrosis Score
– Three values: No advanced fibrosis, Indeterminate, Advanced fibrosis
• Good test for determining patients without advanced fibrosis ((NPV 88%)

• FibroScan (Transient Elastography)
• Fast, painless, noninvasive, reproducible for advanced fibrosis
• Increase sample size than liver biopsy
• XL probe to try and diminish results in obese patients
• 88% Sen and 95% Spec
• 78-84% will have reliable liver stiffness measurement
• Can not determine NASH

• 1) Lifestyle changes – WEIGHT LOSS
– Explain diagnosis and set realistic target weight
– Nutritional counselling – refer to dietician
– Exercise – 3-4 times per week, expend 400 kcal per session
– Promrat et al 2010: Intensive lifestyle intervention (diet, exercise,
behaviour modification) vs structured education alone.
• Weight loss 9.3% vs 0.2% (p = 0.003)

Approach to NAFLD in Ghana
Increase awareness of NAFLD – community, MDs, local government partners
Prevention and Rx of Metabolic Syndrome: Obesity and Diabetic Clinics- lifestyle modification a key component
