• Oxidative ‫د‬stress ‫د‬is ‫د‬thought ‫د‬to ‫د‬be ‫د‬a ‫د‬key ‫د‬role ‫د‬
in ‫د‬the ‫د 2د‬nd ‫د‬hit ‫د‬
Diagnosis of NASH
* Clinical diagnosis:
• Clinical experience with pediatric NASH is
limited, while there are no characteristic
symptoms.
• Children may complain of abdominal pain
although they are often asymptomatic
• Hepatomegaly can often detected on
examination, however this physical finding may
be missed in clinical practice.
• Acanthosis nigricans, a black pigmentation found
in skin fold and axilla associated with
hyperinsulinaemia
• Malaise or tiredness, history of drug ingestion
may be elicited at time of presentation.
Pointers to NAFLD/
NASH in clinical
practice
• Unexplained elevation of ALT and GGT,
typically minor, in a person with metabolic
risk factors
• ‘Rubbery’ hepatomegaly
• Recent weight gain and expanding waistline
• Lifestyle or medication changes favouring
weight gain
• Family history of type 2 diabetes, NAFLD,
vascular disorders or hyperlipidaemia
cont.
• Raised serum ferritin not attributable to iron storage
disorder or alcohol
• Abnormalities of hepatic imagingadiffuse echogenicity
on ultrasonogram (‘bright liver’), radiolucency on CT
• Patient with chronic HCV infection and diabetes and/or
obesity, ‘rubbery’ hepatomegaly or steatosis with HCV
genotype 1
infections
• Patient with chronic HBV infection, raised ALT but nondetectable HBV DNA in presence of metabolic risk
factors
• ALT, alanine aminotransferase; CT, computerized
tomography; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase;
HBV DNA, hepatitis B
• Imaging studies.

Liver enzymes:
• Serum ALT was found to be reliable as
screening tool for fatty liver.
– Aminotramsferase: the ratio of
AST/ALT is usually  1
– in NASH often  2
– Alkaline phosphatase: increase or may
be normal.
• GGT can be mildely elevated
NASH FibroSURE

• NASH fibrosure is non invasive assessment of
liver status for patient with NAFLD.
• Quantitative results of to biochemical
including.
• α 2Macroglobulin.
• Haptoglobulin.
• Apolipoprotein A.
• Bilirubin.

NASH fibro SURE should only be used for
patient with suspected NAFLD, it is not
recommended for patient with other liver
disease.
Steatosis marker
• Steatosis marker: has been studied in a
variability of patient types including
hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease and
NAFLD.
Provide quantitative marker for hepatic
steatosis grade
• steatosis score  0.5 had sensitivity of
71% and specificity of 72% for
identification of significant steatosis
• Biomarker to predict steatosis
(Steatotest) fibrosis (fibrotest) among
patient – NAFD, the diagnostic
accuracy of all biomarker used to
identify liver fibrosis seldom exceed
75-80%. These serum markers not
available in all lab., may be expensive
can't substitute liver biopsy
Breath test
• Both microsomal and mitochondrial
function are disturbed in NASH,
• MBT for liver microsomal function
• KBT for liver mitochondrial function.
Liver breath test predirect higher state
of NASH
Autoimmune Ab: (Auto immune
marker).
• In a pediatric study, seven of 14 children
with NAFLD were found to be +ve for ANA
or SMA in six and GPC in one, 4 of 6
children were be +ve for Ab.
Several NASH-specific biomarkers
• Several NASH-specific biomarkers have
recently been developed. The CK-18, a
biomarker of apoptosis, was developed
and tested in patients with NAFLD.
Another non-invasive biomarker (NASH
Diagnostics) is a simple panel that
includes Cleaved CK-18, a product of the
subtraction of Cleaved CK-18 level from
intact CK-18, serum adiponectin

Treatment of NASH in children
The current best treatment of any form of
NAFLD in children is life style
modification in contrast to adult NAFLD.
This is not centered around weight
reduction programs, but directed towards
increased physical activity  promotion of
healthy balanced diet to support normal
growth and development. The success of
this approach is variable and additional
drug intervention might be needed.
Therapeutic option available for patient
with NAFLD
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Change in habit: diet  physical exercise.
Drugs that improve insulin sensitivity.
Antioxidant.
Lipid lowering agent.
Usodeoxycolid acid.
Antibiotics: lactobacillus prevent gut derived endotoxaemia.
Anti TNF antibodies, TNF- receptor antagonist.
Nutritional supplementation: Carnitine, choline.
Therapeutic phelobotomies.
Liver transplantation
The main goal therapy for NAFLD should be to prevent progression
of NAFLD to cirrhosis, un fortunately although a variety of treatment
modalities have been proposed, none has proven efficacy in
changing this end point
Role of nutrition in treatment of
NASH
• Nutritional recommendation for NASH focus on
the underlying disease (Metabolic syndrome 
other secondary causes)
• Diet composition:
Dietary composition has an important
consideration. There is some evidence that
carbohydrate loading may be problematic, thus
the food with high amount of corn syrup, product
of high sugar content, high starch food may be
particularly dangerous. It may not be just the
total calorie intake that lead to NASH, but the
types of calorie.
• Polyunsaturated fatty acid especially formulation
rich in omega-3 are widely accepted in medical
community for their beneficial affect on
hyperlipidaemia
• Recent studies ameliorate hepatic steatosis in
human  animal models of NASH by reducing
hepatic fat content. One year course of omega-3
fatty acid (3gm/day) will produce improvement in
NASH histological injury
Fiber in diet
-

• Children require help with appetite control. Food
make individual feel full without delivering high
amount of calories, in this regard fruits 
vegetables come to forfront of good selection.
The most satisfying component of vegetable is
dietary fiber in particular soluble fiber.
• The most interesting of all soluble fiber is
delivered from oats. Oat contain unique type of
fiber hydrocolloid or oat-beta glycan it is
proposed as fat substitute in foods
Cont.
• This soluble fiber has an ability to
smooth out blood sugar concentration
following meals. This is called second
meal effect of low glycaemic index
food.
• So soluble fiber is valuable in ↓
weight, ↓ IR  control blood sugar
• High fiber diet may tend to ↓
cholesterol
• Diet will therefore need to be tailored
to individual needs. The inclusion of n-3
fatty acid, high MUFA foods, fruits,
vegetables, low GI, high fiber foods 
reduced intake of saturated fat, simple
carbohydrate  sweetened drink may be
universally recommended to NAFLD
patient
Drug therapy of NASH
• Although diet and exercise is the
mainstay of treatment, medication
might be warranted if an appropriate
diet and regular physical activity don't
improve biochemical markers and
liver morphology
• Most attention of pediatric NAFLD is given
to either vitamin E as antioxidant or to anti
diabetic drugs, Metformin as an agent that
counter IR
• Antioxidant: the use of antioxidants for
the treatment of NAFLD to protect cellular
structures against damage from oxygen
free radicals and from reactive products of
lipid peroxidation
Antioxidant against oxidative stress
• Metadoxine
• Natural antioxidants (vitamin E, ubiquinone)
• Synthetic antioxidants (including
dihydroquinoline-type – only used
experimentally)
• Ursodeoxycholic acid
• Lecithin
• Selenium
• Betaine
• Silymarin
vitamin E
• Oral vitamin E 400-1200 IU daily improves
hepatic enzymes in patients with NAFLD
• It might improve NASH by modulating
cytokines and inhibiting the expression of
intrahepatic TGF-ß, which is involved in
fibrogenesis.
Lipid Lowering Drugs
• As hypertriglyceridaemia and low HDL
cholesterol levels are a manifestation of
insulin resistance and common among
subjects with NAFLD, several
investigators have used lipid lowering
drugs to treat NAFLD The use of statin
drugs is currently contraindicated in the
presence of active liver disease or
persistent unexplained increases of
aminotransaminases
Drug that protect hepatocyte
• Several drugs believed to be
hepatoprotective have been used in
patient with NASH .these include
UDCA, betain, vitamin E, lecithin, βcarotin ,and selenium and taurine
Nutritional supplementation
• Dietary supplement of antioxidant as
vitamin E ,selenium and restriction of iron
intake may be beneficial for prevention of
advanced disease, further regulation of
bacterial flora in the gut using probiotic is
promising for prevention and treatment of
NASH.
Milk Thistle
• Silymarin this is the active ingredient in the

•
•
•
•
•

milk thistle herb. It has a history of improving
liver health. Many studies have shown that milk
thistle might:
Increase the speed of liver cell regeneration
Restrain liver fibrosis
Protect the liver from injury
Decrease cholesterol absorption
It is believed that it increase production of anti
oxidant enzyme that help liver breakdown toxin,
Selenium
• Selenium is a powerful anti oxidant that works
synergistically to asses protection against further
damage in liver injury. Selenium is a mineral that
functions as a component of glutathione
peroxidase, an essential antioxidant system. It is
involved in metabolism of vitamin E.
• Recommended daily intake in childhood (110 years): 40-50µg.
• Selenium dietary source: Organ
meat,fish,mashroom and selfish are generally
selenium-rich.
Zinc
• Many studies reported that zinc protected
induced liver injury,not only reduction of
oxidative stress in hepatocyte ,but also by
prevention of intestinal permeability
Recommended intake in children: 10mg
• Zinc dietary source: zinc is found
abundantly in shelfish,red meat,legumes
and nuts
Prognosis and Prevention
• Prognosis of NASH :Prognosis is
dependant not only on the severity of the
disease and number of risk factors, but
also on the degree of histological damage.
The presence of NASH Vs NAFLD and the
stage of fibrosis provide a gradient for
prognosis
Can NAFLD /NASH be prevented or
reversed?
• Because liver failure doesn't occur in NAFLD/
NASH unless cirrhosis has developed,
reducing or reversing fibrotic progression
must be of ultimate objective of treatment.
• There is now compelling evidence that type 2
diabetes can be prevented or at least delayed
in onset by life style intervention. NASH, a
consequence of IR should also be prevented
by change in diet  physical activity
Summary
• Summary:
• Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a
condition associated with obesity and
diabetes, is increasingly being recognized in
the western population.
• Simple fatty liver is the most common form of
NAFLD and seems to be a benign condition.
In contrast, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis may
progress to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis.
• The diagnosis is often made after incidentally
finding elevated liver enzyme levels or by clinical
suspicion in patients with obesity or diabetes.
Laboratory results or imaging examinations may
confirm the diagnosis. However, at present, only a
liver biopsy can differentiate simple steatosis from
NASH.
• There is no clear consensus on the effectiveness
of the pharmacologic treatment of NAFLD. Several
therapies, including insulin-sensitizing, antioxidant
agents, and hepatoprotective medications, have
been studied. Lifestyle modifications, particularly
weight loss, have been shown to be particularly
beneficial.
Conclusions
• NAFLD affects a substantial portion of the
general population and is associated with
the metabolic syndrome, which includes
obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia,
and hypertension. Patients with NAFLD
not only suffer from the metabolic sequlae
of insulin resistance but have increased
overall mortality.
• Although simple fatty liver seems to be a
benign condition, some patients may
progress to NASH and ultimately to
cirrhosis. Because of the consequences of
the disease, we emphasize the
importance of the detection of NAFLD in
high-risk groups, including obese patients,
as well as those with evidence of insulin
resistance or other components of the
metabolic syndrome
• Screening and surveillance methods
should be applied more uniformly from
center to center, and reliable non invasive
techniques are needed for the diagnosis
of NAFLD and the detection of progressive
liver disease. The diagnosis of NAFLD
should prompt management of the
metabolic risk factors.
• . Weight loss regimens are believed to be
helpful, and numerous drugs have been
investigated in small studies. Large,
randomized, clinical trials are necessary to
determine the real benefit of these agents.
Finally, studies on the pathogenesis of NAFLD
may not only improve our understanding of the
mechanisms involved in NAFLD progression, but
may lead to potentially novel therapeutic
strategies to treat this condition.
Recommendation
• We should screen all children at risk for
development of NASH (obese  diabetic
children) by U/S  laboratory investigation.
• We should encourage our children to avoid
unhealthy food which lead to obesity.
• Encourage mother for exclusive breast
feeding at 1st 6 month of life which proved to
prevent obesity at childhood period 
adolescence.
Thank you

  • 43. Treatment of NASH in children The current best treatment of any form of NAFLD in children is life style modification in contrast to adult NAFLD. This is not centered around weight reduction programs, but directed towards increased physical activity promotion of healthy balanced diet to support normal growth and development. The success of this approach is variable and additional drug intervention might be needed.
  • 44. Therapeutic option available for patient with NAFLD • • • • • • • • • • • Change in habit: diet physical exercise. Drugs that improve insulin sensitivity. Antioxidant. Lipid lowering agent. Usodeoxycolid acid. Antibiotics: lactobacillus prevent gut derived endotoxaemia. Anti TNF antibodies, TNF- receptor antagonist. Nutritional supplementation: Carnitine, choline. Therapeutic phelobotomies. Liver transplantation The main goal therapy for NAFLD should be to prevent progression of NAFLD to cirrhosis, un fortunately although a variety of treatment modalities have been proposed, none has proven efficacy in changing this end point
  • 45. Role of nutrition in treatment of NASH • Nutritional recommendation for NASH focus on the underlying disease (Metabolic syndrome other secondary causes) • Diet composition: Dietary composition has an important consideration. There is some evidence that carbohydrate loading may be problematic, thus the food with high amount of corn syrup, product of high sugar content, high starch food may be particularly dangerous. It may not be just the total calorie intake that lead to NASH, but the types of calorie.
  • 46. • Polyunsaturated fatty acid especially formulation rich in omega-3 are widely accepted in medical community for their beneficial affect on hyperlipidaemia • Recent studies ameliorate hepatic steatosis in human animal models of NASH by reducing hepatic fat content. One year course of omega-3 fatty acid (3gm/day) will produce improvement in NASH histological injury
  • 47. Fiber in diet - • Children require help with appetite control. Food make individual feel full without delivering high amount of calories, in this regard fruits vegetables come to forfront of good selection. The most satisfying component of vegetable is dietary fiber in particular soluble fiber. • The most interesting of all soluble fiber is delivered from oats. Oat contain unique type of fiber hydrocolloid or oat-beta glycan it is proposed as fat substitute in foods
  • 48. Cont. • This soluble fiber has an ability to smooth out blood sugar concentration following meals. This is called second meal effect of low glycaemic index food. • So soluble fiber is valuable in ↓ weight, ↓ IR control blood sugar • High fiber diet may tend to ↓ cholesterol
  • 49. • Diet will therefore need to be tailored to individual needs. The inclusion of n-3 fatty acid, high MUFA foods, fruits, vegetables, low GI, high fiber foods reduced intake of saturated fat, simple carbohydrate sweetened drink may be universally recommended to NAFLD patient
  • 50. Drug therapy of NASH • Although diet and exercise is the mainstay of treatment, medication might be warranted if an appropriate diet and regular physical activity don't improve biochemical markers and liver morphology
  • 51. • Most attention of pediatric NAFLD is given to either vitamin E as antioxidant or to anti diabetic drugs, Metformin as an agent that counter IR • Antioxidant: the use of antioxidants for the treatment of NAFLD to protect cellular structures against damage from oxygen free radicals and from reactive products of lipid peroxidation
  • 52. Antioxidant against oxidative stress • Metadoxine • Natural antioxidants (vitamin E, ubiquinone) • Synthetic antioxidants (including dihydroquinoline-type – only used experimentally) • Ursodeoxycholic acid • Lecithin • Selenium • Betaine • Silymarin
  • 53. vitamin E • Oral vitamin E 400-1200 IU daily improves hepatic enzymes in patients with NAFLD • It might improve NASH by modulating cytokines and inhibiting the expression of intrahepatic TGF-ß, which is involved in fibrogenesis.
  • 54.
  • 55. Lipid Lowering Drugs • As hypertriglyceridaemia and low HDL cholesterol levels are a manifestation of insulin resistance and common among subjects with NAFLD, several investigators have used lipid lowering drugs to treat NAFLD The use of statin drugs is currently contraindicated in the presence of active liver disease or persistent unexplained increases of aminotransaminases
  • 56. Drug that protect hepatocyte • Several drugs believed to be hepatoprotective have been used in patient with NASH .these include UDCA, betain, vitamin E, lecithin, βcarotin ,and selenium and taurine
  • 57. Nutritional supplementation • Dietary supplement of antioxidant as vitamin E ,selenium and restriction of iron intake may be beneficial for prevention of advanced disease, further regulation of bacterial flora in the gut using probiotic is promising for prevention and treatment of NASH.
  • 58. Milk Thistle • Silymarin this is the active ingredient in the • • • • • milk thistle herb. It has a history of improving liver health. Many studies have shown that milk thistle might: Increase the speed of liver cell regeneration Restrain liver fibrosis Protect the liver from injury Decrease cholesterol absorption It is believed that it increase production of anti oxidant enzyme that help liver breakdown toxin,
  • 59. Selenium • Selenium is a powerful anti oxidant that works synergistically to asses protection against further damage in liver injury. Selenium is a mineral that functions as a component of glutathione peroxidase, an essential antioxidant system. It is involved in metabolism of vitamin E. • Recommended daily intake in childhood (110 years): 40-50µg. • Selenium dietary source: Organ meat,fish,mashroom and selfish are generally selenium-rich.
  • 60. Zinc • Many studies reported that zinc protected induced liver injury,not only reduction of oxidative stress in hepatocyte ,but also by prevention of intestinal permeability Recommended intake in children: 10mg • Zinc dietary source: zinc is found abundantly in shelfish,red meat,legumes and nuts
  • 61. Prognosis and Prevention • Prognosis of NASH :Prognosis is dependant not only on the severity of the disease and number of risk factors, but also on the degree of histological damage. The presence of NASH Vs NAFLD and the stage of fibrosis provide a gradient for prognosis
  • 62. Can NAFLD /NASH be prevented or reversed? • Because liver failure doesn't occur in NAFLD/ NASH unless cirrhosis has developed, reducing or reversing fibrotic progression must be of ultimate objective of treatment. • There is now compelling evidence that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or at least delayed in onset by life style intervention. NASH, a consequence of IR should also be prevented by change in diet physical activity
  • 63. Summary • Summary: • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition associated with obesity and diabetes, is increasingly being recognized in the western population. • Simple fatty liver is the most common form of NAFLD and seems to be a benign condition. In contrast, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis may progress to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis.
  • 64. • The diagnosis is often made after incidentally finding elevated liver enzyme levels or by clinical suspicion in patients with obesity or diabetes. Laboratory results or imaging examinations may confirm the diagnosis. However, at present, only a liver biopsy can differentiate simple steatosis from NASH. • There is no clear consensus on the effectiveness of the pharmacologic treatment of NAFLD. Several therapies, including insulin-sensitizing, antioxidant agents, and hepatoprotective medications, have been studied. Lifestyle modifications, particularly weight loss, have been shown to be particularly beneficial.
  • 65. Conclusions • NAFLD affects a substantial portion of the general population and is associated with the metabolic syndrome, which includes obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Patients with NAFLD not only suffer from the metabolic sequlae of insulin resistance but have increased overall mortality.
  • 66. • Although simple fatty liver seems to be a benign condition, some patients may progress to NASH and ultimately to cirrhosis. Because of the consequences of the disease, we emphasize the importance of the detection of NAFLD in high-risk groups, including obese patients, as well as those with evidence of insulin resistance or other components of the metabolic syndrome
  • 67. • Screening and surveillance methods should be applied more uniformly from center to center, and reliable non invasive techniques are needed for the diagnosis of NAFLD and the detection of progressive liver disease. The diagnosis of NAFLD should prompt management of the metabolic risk factors.
  • 68. • . Weight loss regimens are believed to be helpful, and numerous drugs have been investigated in small studies. Large, randomized, clinical trials are necessary to determine the real benefit of these agents. Finally, studies on the pathogenesis of NAFLD may not only improve our understanding of the mechanisms involved in NAFLD progression, but may lead to potentially novel therapeutic strategies to treat this condition.
  • 69. Recommendation • We should screen all children at risk for development of NASH (obese diabetic children) by U/S laboratory investigation. • We should encourage our children to avoid unhealthy food which lead to obesity. • Encourage mother for exclusive breast feeding at 1st 6 month of life which proved to prevent obesity at childhood period adolescence.
