Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Carotid artery intima media thickness is a reliable index of subclinical atherosclerosis. There are contradictory reports about relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and carotid atherosclerosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate carotid artery intima media thickness levels and its association with histological findings in biopsy proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. 113 male patients and 57 healthy male controls were enrolled. Patients and control groups mean ages were 31.7± 5.7 and 30.1± 5.5 respectively. Body mass index, Waist circumference, glucose, lipids and insulin levels, and HOMA-IR were determined. Carotid atherosclerosis evaluated by carotid artery intima media thickness using high resolution carotid ultrasonography. Carotid artery intima media thickness levels were higher in patient group than the control group. This difference was disappeared when the findings were adjusted according to the body mass index, waist circumference, glucose and lipid levels, and HOMA-IR indexes. In addition, no significant association was observed between carotid artery intima media thickness and liver histology. However, there was a significant association between age and carotid artery intima media thickness in patients and controls. Our study does not support an association between carotid atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Otherwise, it can be speculated that a longer exposure to the disease is required to determine significant differences in carotid atherosclerosis.

Özet

Alkolik olmayan yağlı karaciğer hastalığı artmış kardivasküler mortalite ile ilişkilidir. Karotid arter intima medya kalınlığı subklinik aterosklerozun güvenilir bir göstergesidir. Alkolik olmayan yağlı karaciğer hastalığı ve karotid ateroskleroz ilişkisi hakkında çelişkili raporlar mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, biyopsi ile tanı konmuş alkolik olmayan yağlı karaciğer hastalarında karotid arter intima medya kalınlık düzeylerini ve bu düzeylerin histolojik bulgularla ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. 113 erkek hasta ve 57 sağlıklı kontrol çalışmaya dahil edildi. Olgu ve kontrol gruplarının ortalama yaşları sırası ile 31.7± 5.7 ve 30.1± 5.5 idi. Olgu ve kontrol gruplarının vücut kitle indeksi, bel çevresi, glukoz, lipid, insulin düzeyleri ve HOMA-IR indeksleri belirlendi. Karotid ateroskleroz, yüksek çözünürlüklü karotid ultrasonoğrafi yöntemi ile karotid intima-medya kalınlığı belirlenerek değerlendirildi. Karotid intima medya kalınlık düzeyleri, hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksekti. Bu fark, bulgular vücut kitle indeksi, bel çevresi, glukoz, lipid düzeyleri ve HOMA-IR indeksine göre ayarlandığında ortadan kalkıyordu. Ek olarak, karotid intima medya kalınlığı ile karaciğer histolojisi arasında istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı. Ancak, hasta ve kontrol gruplarında yaş ile karotid intima medya kalınlığı arasında istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki vardı. Çalışmamız, alkolik olmayan yağlı karaciğer hastalığı ile karotid ateroskleroz arasındaki ilişkiyi desteklememektedir. Diğer yandan, bu hastalıkta karotid arterde anlamlı aterosklerotik değişiklikler olabilmesi için hastalığa uzun süre maruziyetin gerekliliğinden bahsedilebilir.
