DIAZ FONDEN, Jesús et al. Relationship between echographical, laparoscopic and histological findings in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. MEDISAN [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.3, pp.345-353. ISSN 1029-3019.
A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 34 patients with non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis, assisted in the Gastroenterology Service of "Saturnino Lora Torres" from the Specialties Polyclinic of the Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from October, 2011 to same month of 2013, with the aim of characterizing them according to some clinical and epidemiological factors and selected diagnoses, besides estimating the magnitude of the relationship among the echographical, laparoscopic and pathological findings of those affected. A close relationship of this hepatopathy was evidenced with the overweight, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus, as well as an appropriate relationship among the hystic changes corresponding to non-alcoholic fatty liver with the echographical and laparoscopic changes
