  Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MS) also known as insulin resistance syndrome is a surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). Traditionally this is being diagnosed by Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III) and International Federation of Diabetes (IDF) criteria. Despite mounting evidence in favor of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), this has not been yet included as a component of either ATP-III or IDF criteria. We conducted this study to evaluate if NAFLD could be used as a criterion for identifying metabolic syndrome. Methods: Setting: Single center observational study in Gastroenterology OPD at SCB Medical College, Cuttack. Subjects: Consecutive subjects presenting with functional bowel disease were included; these included 68 NAFLD subjects and 200 subjects with normal liver on ultrasonography. Investigations: All 268 subjects wer.. Read More»
