Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1. To detect the significance of remenant cholesterol in detection severity of MAFLD
2. To detect the significance of carotid intima-media thickness in MAFLD

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is fatty infiltration of the liver in the absence of other causes of steatosis, such as alcohol consumption characterized by excessive fat accumulation in liver \>5-10% of its weight encompassing a spectrum of increasingly severe clinico-pathological conditions - nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and nonalcoholic steato-hepatitis (NASH) with or without fibrosis/cirrhosis. Since NAFLD is frequently associated with further metabolic comorbidities such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia, it is generally considered as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome A growing body of evidence also indicates that NAFLD is strongly associated with an increased risk of major CVD events and other cardiac complications (ie, cardiomyopathy, cardiac valvular calcification and cardiac arrhythmias), independently of traditional cardiovascular risk factors NAFLD has also been associated with an increase in the carotid intima- media thickness (CIMT), independent of conventional CVD risk factors. CIMT is a marker of early atherosclerosis and has been shown to predict increased risks of myocardial in-farction and stroke Fatty liver index (FLI) has been proposed as an accurate, convenient, and economic surrogate of the severity of NAFLD. Remnant cholesterol refers to the cholesterol content carried by triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, which include non-LDL-C and nonhigh density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) A large number of studies have reported that serum remnant cholesterol levels were positively associated with the risk of coronary artery disease NAFLD
