It is an observational trial on 500 subjects. The purpose of this trial is to assess the prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in subjects with different classes of obesity.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming the most common cause of chronic liver disease due to an increase in the prevalence of obesity. The development of NASH leads to an increase in morbidity and mortality. Since patients with obesity are at an increased risk of NASH, the aim of this trial is to assess the prevalence of NASH in this class of patients.
