Steatohepatitis associated with limb lipodystrophy

Gastroenterology. 1989 Oct;97(4):1022-4. doi: 10.1016/0016-5085(89)91513-8.

Abstract

Two patients who presented with steatohepatitis had acquired partial lipodystrophy. This association has not previously been well documented. A common pathophysiological mechanism in lipodystrophy, obesity-associated nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and alcoholic liver disease is possible.
