ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the different levels of ferritin among NAFDL and conducted to find a significant relationship between them.
Study Design: Observational study.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Pakistan Railway Hospital Rawalpindi within 1 year from Jan 2019 to Jan 2020.
Materials and Methods: We select 30 participants who undergone through NAFLD/NASH biopsy for the collection of their demographic, histological, laboratory data. All the patients were selected to form the Hepatology and gastroenterology department of Pakistan railway hospital Rawalpindi hospital.
Results: With the help of the Pearson formula, we found a significant relationship (0.011) between ferritin and the male gender. This value proves the statement that men had increased ferritin levels as compared to the female population.
Conclusion: Our studies conclude that in young people with 0 levels of obesity, ferritin serum is not only a single way to find disease severity.
Key Words: Serum ferritin, Histological analysis, Steotosis grade, fibrosis stage, liver biopsy, 0 Obesity
