Liver histology according to the presence of metabolic syndrome in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease cases

Table 4 Liver histology according to the presence of metabolic syndrome in NASH cases (%)

Liver histology	Patients with NASH (n = 69)
	With metabolic syndrome (n = 46, 66.6%)	Without metabolicsyndrome (n = 23, 33.4%)
Fatty infiltration
Mild	20 (43.4)	11 (47.8)
Moderate	19 (41.3)	6 (26.1)
Severe	7 (15.3)	6 (26.1)
Necroinflammation
Absent	0 (0)	0 (0)
Mild	13 (28.3)	9 (39.1)
Moderate	28 (60.9)	13 (56.5)
Severe	5 (10.8)	1 (4.40)
Fibrosis
Absent	20 (43.4)	9 (39.1)
Perisinusoidal/pericellular	16 (34.7)	9 (39.1)
Periportal	7 (15.4)	2 (8.60)
Bridging	3 (6.50)	3 (13.2)
Cirrhosis	1 (2.12)	0 (0)

Evaluations were performed using percentage values. Presence of metabolic syndrome seemed to increase the severity of steatosis, necroinflammation and fibrosis in liver, but these results were not significant as well.
