Comparison of haematological parameters in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic liver disease.
Journal Title: Singapore Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 52, Issue 3
Abstract
Readily available laboratory tests are extremely useful in achieving a better understanding of diseases, and thereby, allow thoughtful management decisions to be made. The examination of peripheral blood smears usually provides excellent clues to the cause of the disease. The main objective of this study was to compare the haematological parameters of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and assess whether these tests have any discriminant value between the two conditions.
