    Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are conditions gaining increasing recognition in hepatology as a potential cause of cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. Obesity is one of the main risk factors. The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of NAFLD in obese patients and to identify variables that predict NASH.
