In-Depth Analysis Of Test Results And Imaging Assessment Of NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver. Disease) In Adult And Their Response To Medications

Abstract

Background: A wide range of demographic groups are affected by Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), which has become a major public health concern. Among those affected, the older population poses particular difficulties and complications for the diagnosis and treatment of this illness.

Objectives: Assessing the lab results and imaging evaluation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the elderly is the goal of this systematic review.

Methods: To find relevant studies, a thorough search of electronic databases was carried out. The Preferred Reporting Items for Conducting Systematic Review Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were adhered to for this review. We searched through electronic articles on ScienceDirect, Bar Prescription, and the online Willey library between March 2022 and September 2022. An organised and thorough search of electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, or the Cochrane Library was carried out. Important watchwords & clinical subject titles were combined to create the pursue procedure.

Results: Initially, the symptoms of a few research were observed. From April 2022 to August 2022, a comprehensive exploration of electronic databases yielded a total of 30 items that may be of relevance. Following the screening of titles and abstracts, five articles were chosen for full-text review. The review comprised a total of 280 senior patients (65 years of age and older) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients had a high prevalence of comorbidities: 22% had dyslipidemia, 33% had hypertension, and 45% had diabetes.

Conclusion: As a result, our systematic analysis highlights the critical role that laboratory results play in the diagnosis and treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the elderly and highlights the importance of taking their age into account when evaluating and caring for this population. The purpose of this review is to further our understanding of NAFLD in the ageing population and help improve patient outcomes.
