tose e esteato-hepatite não alcoólica (NASH), na ausên-
cia de consumo significante de álcool, podendo atingir
30% da população. Fatores de risco mais comuns são ida-
de, gênero, etnia,
diabetes mellitus
(DM), obesidade, predis-
posição, síndrome matabólica (SM), resistência à insuli-
na (RI), drogas e síndrome do ovário policístico.
Objetivo:
descrever o perfil de portadores de DHGNA as-
sistidos no Hospital de Base de São José do Rio Preto, SP.
Método:
foram avaliados pacientes com DHGNA e cole-
tados dados clínico-epidemiológicos, após consentimen-
to informado.
Resultados:
dos 62 pacientes estudados, houve predo-
mínio de mulheres (76%), caucasoides (73%), idade entre
a quinta e sexta décadas e assintomáticos (71%). Exame
de ultrassonografia (US) mostrou esteatose em 84%. NASH
foi diagnosticada em 61% da casuística. Em 21 pacientes,
biópsia hepática mostrou cirrose em 36% e câncer de fí-
gado e esteatose pura em um paciente (5%) cada. Dos fa-
tores de risco, 70% dos pacientes apresentavam SM; 87%,
cintura abdominal alterada; 63%, dislipidemia; 61% (n=38),
hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS); 28%, DM; 52%, se-
dentarismo, e em 44% encontrou-se RI (HOMA>3,5). Hou-
ve associação entre RI e NASH (p=0,013), RI e obesidade
(p=0,027), RI e SM (p=0,006), SM e esteatose à US
(p=0,014).
Conclusão:
os fatores de risco mais frequentes foram SM
e suas variáveis (cintura abdominal aumentada, dislipi-
demia e HAS), o que ressalta a importância do controle
metabólico na DHGNA e corrobora o seu papel como
componente hepático da SM.
