A retrospective analysis on the concomitance of seborrheic dermatitis and fatty liver disease

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between seborrheic dermatitis and fatty liver disease and to determine the impact of age, gender, and concomitant chronic diseases. The present study sample included 120 (18-65 years old) patients who were diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis between January 2018 and December 2018 and underwent upper abdominal ultrasonography. The demographic patient data, the liver fatty tissue rate in ultrasonography reports and the presence of other concomitant diseases were analyzed in the present retrospective study. The mean age of 52 male and 68 female patients was 45.5 ± 17.2. A total of 47 (39.2%) patients had hepatic steatosis. Hepatic steatosis rate was 52% in male patients and 29.4% in female patients. The mean age of the patients with hepatic steatosis was 54.8 ± 12.7, and the mean age of the patients with normal liver findings was 38.7 ± 17.2 (p [Med-Science 2019; 8(4.000): 892-5]
