| Core Tip |
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), in its two variants non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, is often linked to systemic inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis. Remarkably, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a new affirming systemic inflammatory disorder of the follicular epithelium of skin apocrine glands with a prevalence in normal population ranging from 0.05% to 4.10%. Furthermore, HS patients display a significant comorbidities burden (e.g., cardiovascular risk, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and spondyloarthritis) but the association with NAFLD was not previously investigated. This is the first study which evaluated NAFLD prevalence and its characteristics in HS patients. |
