Hyperuricemia is associated with histological liver damage in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract

In NAFLD patients, hyperuricemia is independently associated with the severity of liver damage, representing, in this setting of patients, together with insulin resistance, a potential new therapeutic target in future intervention trials.
