TL;DR: The entire histologic spectrum of NAFLD can be seen in individuals with normal ALT values, and the Histologic spectrum in these individuals is not significantly different from those with elevated ALT levels, which means a lownormal ALT value does not guarantee freedom from underlying steatohepatitis with advanced fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arun J. Sanyal,Colin Banas,Carol Sargeant,Velimir A. Luketic,Richard K. Sterling,Richard T. Stravitz,Mitchell L. Shiffman,Douglas M. Heuman,Adrian Coterrell,Robert A. Fisher,Melissa J. Contos,A.S. Mills +11 more
TL;DR: Compensation cirrhosis due to NASH is associated with a lower mortality rate compared with that due to HCV, and it is also associatedWith a lower rate of development of ascites, hyperbilirubinemia, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jasmohan S. Bajaj,Leroy R. Thacker,Douglas M. Heuman,Michael Fuchs,Richard K. Sterling,Arun J. Sanyal,Puneet Puri,Mohammad S. Siddiqui,Richard T. Stravitz,Iliana Bouneva,Velimir A. Luketic,Nicole A. Noble,Melanie B. White,Pamela Monteith,Ariel Unser,James B. Wade +15 more
TL;DR: The Stroop smartphone app is a short, valid, and reliable tool for screening of MHE, and a learning effect on Ontime in patients with cirrhosis without previous OHE was noted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mohammad S. Siddiqui,Michael Fuchs,Michael O. Idowu,Velimir A. Luketic,Sherry Boyett,Carol Sargeant,Richard T. Stravitz,Puneet Puri,Scott Matherly,Richard K. Sterling,Melissa J. Contos,Arun J. Sanyal +11 more
TL;DR: Ex vivo studies showed that patients with NAFLD had increased sensitivity of hepatic triglyceride levels and cholesterol synthesis to insulin, and that sensitivity increased the development of cirrhosis.
