HIGADO GRASO: ULTRASONIDO Y CORRELACION ANATOMOPATOLOGICA

Abstract

Fatty liver is a pathology characterized for accumulation of triglycerides within the hepatocytes. Today is diagnosed frequently by ultrasound and is important to know the ultrasonographic findings for the diagnosis. Our purpose was to correlate ultrasound and pathologic findings in the diagnosis of steatosis and propose grades of severity. This study demonstrated moderate concordance between ultrasound and biopsy findings.
