Rapidly progressive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease due to hypopituitarism. Report of 5 cases.

CONCLUSION: Hypopituitarism may be a rare cause of rapidly progressive NAFLD. Insulin resistance and metabolic disorders caused by multiple hormonal deficiencies may contribute to it. Hormone supplement therapy, especially the growth hormone supplement, should be given at the early age to prevent the severe liver disease. PMID: 30183204 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
