Is lDL-migration index ( LDL-MI ) , an indicator of small dense low-density lipoprotein ( sdLDL ) , higher in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis than in non-alcoholic fatty liver : a multicenter cross-sectional study?
This study is the first to show that LDL-MI, an indicator of sdLDL, was higher in patients with NASH than with NAFL, suggesting that the risk of atherosclerotic diseases may be higher in NASH than NAFL. Patients with NASH should be followed closely, especially for the progression of liver pathology and atherosclerotic diseases.
