  2. Steatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatosis

    Steatosis, also called fatty change, is abnormal retention of fat within a cell or organ. [1] Steatosis most often affects the liver – the primary organ of lipid metabolism – where the condition is commonly referred to as fatty liver disease. Steatosis can also occur in other organs, including the kidneys, heart, and muscle. [2]

  3. Fatty liver disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_liver_disease

    Fatty liver disease (FLD), also known as hepatic steatosis and steatotic liver disease (SLD), is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver. [1] Often there are no or few symptoms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Occasionally there may be tiredness or pain in the upper right side of the abdomen . [ 1 ]

  4. Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_dysfunction...

    According to a review, proton density fat fraction estimation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-PDFF) may be considered the most accurate and even gold standard test to quantify hepatic steatosis. They recommend ultrasound-based transient elastography to accurately diagnose both fibrosis and cirrhosis in a routine clinical setting, with more ...

  5. Steatohepatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatohepatitis

    Steatohepatitis is a type of fatty liver disease, characterized by inflammation of the liver with concurrent fat accumulation in liver. Mere deposition of fat in the liver is termed steatosis, and together these constitute fatty liver changes. [1] There are 2 main types of fatty liver disease (FLD):

  6. Elastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastography

    In Bristol University's study Children of the 90s, 2.5% of 4,000 people born in 1991 and 1992 were found by ultrasound scanning at the age of 18 to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; five years later transient elastography found over 20% to have the fatty deposits on the liver of steatosis, indicating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ...

  7. Renal ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_ultrasonography

    The kidneys are easily examined, and most pathological changes in the kidneys are distinguishable with ultrasound. US is an accessible, versatile inexpensive and fast aid for decision-making in patients with renal symptoms and for guidance in renal intervention. [1] Renal ultrasound (US) is a common examination, which has been performed for ...

  8. Liver disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_disease

    Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis) is a reversible condition where large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells. [8] Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a spectrum of disease associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome .

  9. Hepatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis

    Ultrasound, CT, and MRI can all identify steatosis (fatty changes) of the liver tissue and nodularity of the liver surface suggestive of cirrhosis. [72] [73] CT and especially MRI are able to provide a higher level of detail, allowing visualization and characterize such structures as vessels and tumors within the liver. [74]
