ABSTRACT
Background:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD] is a term with a wide spectrum of disorders ranging from simple steatosis to progressive nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [NASH], cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] level is a well-recognized clinical marker of liver injury and may represent a consequence of the proinflammatory process accused in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Insulin resistance seems to predispose lipid accumulation within the liver and progress to fibrosis in NAFLD
