Dyslipidemia associated with non-alcoholic fat liver disease in adults careed at the Divine Niño Clinical Laboratory

Abstract

Some factors such as obesity, age, and gender are associated with dyslipidemia, which is why non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has emerged as one of the most common liver problems in society. The objective is to determine the association between dyslipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adults treated at the Divino Niño clinical laboratory. A cross-sectional, non-experimental, retrospective minimal risk analytical study was used through the review of the database with a sample of 222 patients. The results revealed that the age range most affected by triglycerides at 79.3% and by total cholesterol with 31.8% was between 34-45 years of age, although a considerable percentage of patients with liver enzymes is present elevated levels associated with dyslipidemia, the statistical analyzes did not show a significant association between the variables; finally, it was found that triglycerides are the lipid with the greatest predisposition with 79.3% in the “very high” level. In conclusion, dyslipidemia associated with NAFLD is a common complication and a key factor in its progression. It was examined that high levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol often occur, which reflects a worrying trend of lipid alterations in productive ages.
