New study found higher prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty lever disease markers and cirrhosis in children

• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has developed into one of the most common chronic diseases, affecting children as young as two years of age, and the prevalence is continuing to increase
• The analyses included children enrolled between August 1, 2016, and October 12th, 2020, with at least one alanine aminotransferase (ALT) measurement after enrollment
• Researchers stratified the distribution of peak alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels as well as the distribution of clinical characteristics by both history of a biopsy and peak serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level to identify comorbidities and treatment patterns in this growing
• “There were a surprisingly high number of pediatric patients with a peak alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than 250 within this diverse real-world cohort,“
