Diffuse liver lesions among the general population of western Siberia.

Abstract:

:The study was aimed at ascertaining the prevalence of diffuse liver lesions and associated factors in the general population of Novosibirsk, Western Siberia. A representative sample of 362 men and 870 women aged 25-64 years was investigated using ultrasound examination and blood tests for liver-derived enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT). Diffuse liver lesions (DLL) were detected in 42.8% of males and 18.7% of females. A significant association was found between DLL and elevated levels of liver enzymes. In conclusion, the prevalence of chronic liver disease is relatively frequent in the unselected urban population.
