ABSTRACT

An observational and descriptive study of 32 patients with hepatic alcoholic steatosis, diagnosed in "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2011 to June, 2013, in order to characterize them epidemiologically, clinically and hystomorphologically. In the investigation an increment of the non alcoholic hepatic steatosis was obtained among the chronic hepatopathies, with prevalence in people of the age groups 35-44 and 45-54 years and of the male sex, and a higher association to hypertriglyceridemia and hypertransaminasemia; equally, the dyslipidemia and overweight--according to index of body mass-- represented the most frequent risk factors in those affected. There was no statistical significance when correlating the echographical with the biopsy findings, so that it was reaffirmed that laparoscopy constitutes the most sensitive and specific mean to diagnose the disease.
