中文摘要
由于非酒精性脂肪性肝病与肥胖流行密切相关,它现在是澳大利亚肝功能异常的最常见原因。在接下来的几十年里,它很可能成为导致肝功能衰竭和肝癌的主要原因。尽管如此,澳大利亚人群的患病率尚不清楚。该项目的目的是评估这种疾病有多普遍,它给医疗系统带来的负担,以及治疗晚期非酒精性脂肪性肝病引起的肝癌的有效性。
英文摘要
Non alcoholic fatty liver disease is now the commonest cause of abnormal liver function in Australia due to its close association with the obesity epidemic. It is likely to become the leading cause of liver failure and liver cancer over the next few decades. Despite this, the prevalence in Australian populations is unknown. The aim of this project is to assess how common this disorder is, the burden it places on the healthcare system and the effectiveness of treatment for liver cancer caused by advanced non alcoholic fatty liver disease.
