Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with normal aminotransferase values

Table 4 Liver histology according to the level of liver enzymes in all NAFLD cases n (%)

Liver histology	All NAFLD patients
	Patients with normal aminotransferase levels (n = 9)	Patients with elevated aminotransferase levels (n = 25)
Steatosis
Mild	5 (55.5)	12 (48.0)
Moderate	3 (33.3)	7 (28.0)
Severe	1 (11.2)	6 (24.0)
Necroinflammation
Absent	2 (22.2)	9 (36.0)
Mild	4 (44.4)	3 (12.0)
Moderate	2 (22.2)	10 (40.0)
Severe	1 (11.2)	3 (12.0)
Fibrosis
Absent	7 (77.7)	16 (64.0)
Perisinusoidal/pericellular	2 (22.3)	6 (24.0)
Periportal	0 (0)	2 (8.0)
Bridging	0 (0)	1 (4.0)

Due to the small number of patients, statistical evaluation and P values were not available. Patients with elevated liver enzyme levels seemed to have more sever liver histology than those with normal liver enzyme levels, but this was not statistically significant.
