NON-ALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS IN CHILDREN − A PRACTICAL APPROACH WITH CASE REPORT

Paediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a chronic liver disease resulting from excessive fat accumulation in the liver. It is closely associated with obesity and some other risk factors. In the last few years, its prevalence in the developed world has been increasing rapidly alongside paedia...
