Abstract:
Acknowledgment of importance and functions of the liver makes the clinical assessment of liver disease a crucial task. The main aim of this study is to characterize nonalcoholic fatty liver disease relative to cholesterol level in Sudanese adult people in Khartoum state using Mendray, Madison (Accuvix XG) and General electric ultrasound machine. The data of this study collected from 50 patients using master data sheet in order to predict the associated problems or the potential one as early as possible. This study was carried out in the period from June 2014 to November 2014. The result of this study reveals that there is a direct linear association between the degree of fatty changes and the amount of cholesterol in the blood and liver size. This means the variation on the cholesterol level and liver size can be explain (predicted) by 86.1% and 96.9%, degree of success respectively, using the degree of fatty changes. The degree of fatty changes itself can be predicted by 99.8% using body mass index. Also the result shows that, there is a significant relation between diabetes and liver size, cholesterol level, and body mass index at p = 0.05.
