В статье освещается одна из наиболее часто встречаемых патологий печени - неалкогольная жировая болезнь печени (НАЖБП), обсуждаются современные концепции этиологии, патогенеза, принципы диагностики и новейшие походы к консервативному и хирургическому лечению данного заболевания. Описывается патофизиология инсулинорезистентности, метаболического синдрома и ряда других клинически-ассоциированных с НАЖБП состояний. Подробно рассматриваются патогенетические аспекты развития фиброза при НАЖБП и описываются современные возможности и ограничения методов визуализации в диагностике степени стеатоза и стадии фиброза печени, ультразвукового исследования и сывороточных маркеров. Обоснованы подходы к обследованию и ведению пациентов с НАЖБП на разных этапах развития заболевания. The article discusses one of the most frequent hepatic pathologies, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and current concepts of its etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic principles, and the latest approaches to conservative and surgical treatment. Pathophysiology of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and other conditions clinically associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are described. The authors deepened the insight into mechanisms of fibrosis development, up-to-date possibilities and limitations of imaging methods in diagnosis of the degree of steatosis and the stage of liver fibrosis, ultrasound, and serum markers. Clinical substantiation of the need to create an algorithm for examining and managing patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at different stages of this condition and early verification of steatosis has an undoubted merit.

Abstract. Some epidemiological evidence suggests an inverse correlation between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) frequency and vitamin D levels. Likewise, a beneficial effect of vitamin D on diabetes mellitus (DM) and insulin resistance has been observed, but this is an unsolved issue. Thus, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in a NAFLD Brazilian population and its association with disease severity and presence of comorbidities. In a cross-sectional study, the clinical, biochemical and histological parameters of 139 NAFLD patients were evaluated according to two different cut-off points of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (20 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL). The mean age of the population was 56 ± 16 years, most patients were female (83%), 72% had hypertension, 88% dyslipidemia, 46% DM, 98% central obesity, and 82% metabolic syndrome. Serum vitamin D levels were < 30 ng/mL in 78% of the patients, and < 20 ng/mL in 35%. The mean vitamin D level was 24.3 ± 6.8 ng/mL. The comparison between the clinical, biochemical and histological characteristics of the patients according to the levels of vitamin D showed no significant difference. Most patients with NAFLD had hypovitaminosis D, but low vitamin D levels were not related to disease severity and the presence of comorbidities.
