ABSTRACT
Background:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD] is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. Recently several parameters, such as serum ferritin, have emerged as possible predictors for the severity of NAFLD and insulin sensitivity. We aimed to investigate the value of serum ferritin level as a useful biomarker for the prediction of histopathological disease severity in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis [NASH], the necro-inflammatory form of NAFLD
