Jeong Hoon Lee,Donghee Kim,Hwa Jung Kim,Hwa Jung Kim,Chang Hoon Lee,Jong In Yang,Won Kim,Yoon Jun Kim,Jung Hwan Yoon,Sang Heon Cho,Myung-Whun Sung,Hyo Suk Lee +11 more
TL;DR: HSI is a simple, efficient screening tool for NAFLD that may be utilized for selecting individuals for liver ultrasonography and for determining the need for lifestyle modifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and significant fibrosis
Bo Kyung Koo,Donghee Kim,Sae Kyung Joo,Jung Ho Kim,Mee Soo Chang,Byeong Gwan Kim,Kook Lae Lee,Won Kim +7 more
TL;DR: Low muscle mass was found to be associated with histological severity in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and sarcopenia was significantly associated with non- alcoholic steatohepatitis and significant fibrosis, independent of obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Donghee Kim,Su Yeon Choi,Eun Ha Park,Whal Lee,Jin Hwa Kang,Won Kim,Yoon Jun Kim,Jung Hwan Yoon,Sook Hyang Jeong,Dong Ho Lee,Hyo Suk Lee,Joseph J. Larson,Terry M. Therneau,W. Ray Kim +13 more
TL;DR: Patients with NAFLD are at increased risk for coronary atherosclerosis independent of classical coronary risk factors, including visceral adiposity, according to this data, which suggest thatNAFLD might be an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease across the spectrum of hypothyroidism
Goh Eun Chung,Donghee Kim,Won Kim,Jeong Yoon Yim,Min Jung Park,Yoon Jun Kim,Jung Hwan Yoon,Hyo Suk Lee +7 more
TL;DR: Subclinical hypothyroidism, even in the range of upper normal TSH levels, was found to be related to NAFLD in a dose-dependent manner, confirming a relevant clinical relationship between these two diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giljae Lee,Hyun Ju You,Jasmohan S. Bajaj,Sae Kyung Joo,Junsun Yu,Seoyeon Park,H.R. Kang,Jeong Hwan Park,Jung Ho Kim,Dong Hyeon Lee,Seon Hwa Lee,Won Kim,GwangPyo Ko +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the role of the microbiome in the liver fibrosis pathogenesis, especially in non-obese subjects, and significant alterations in microbiome diversity are observed according to fibrosis severity in non -obese, but not obese, subjects.
