Correlation of Vitamin E, Uric Acid, and Diet Composition With Histologic Features of Pediatric NAFLD

Abstract

Children with NAFLD have a diet that is insufficient in vitamin E and this may contribute to the pathophysiology of NAFLD. In children with NAFLD, reported sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is low; however, uric acid, which may reflect total fructose consumption, was significantly associated with NASH and should be further evaluated.
