Abstract :
    Introduction: The main risk factors for Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. The best clinical evaluation of the liver function is study of the liver enzymes activity, especially alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between changes in blood glucose, HbA1c, cholesterol and triglyceride factors with changes in liver enzymes in patients referred to Fajr Hospital in Tehran. Methods: Sampling was performed on people who referred to Fajr Hospital in Tehran for a check up test. Finally, samples with SGPT levels above 40 are selected and blood samples are collected in the next test period (6 months later). The changes of two factors ,cholesterol and triglyceride were calculated in these two consecutive visits and finally compared with changes in liver enzymes and the relationship between them was investigated by SPSS V23 software. Results: In the present study, 57 individuals with a mean age of 48 ± 15 years and with SGPT above 40 were included in the study. Among these samples, 6 samples were female (10.52%) and 51 samples were male (89.48%). The results showed that there is a significant relationship between changes in cholesterol and triglycerides with SGPT and SGOT enzymes (p ˂ 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study changes in cholesterol and triglycerides can be used to monitor treatment in people with abnormal levels of liver enzymes.
