Comment on “Advanced Hepatic Fibrosis in Fatty Liver Disease Linked to Hyperplastic Colonic Polyp”

Abstract EN

In a recent retrospective, cohort, observational study conducted at Division of Internal Medicine of the Holy Family Hospital, Nazareth, Israel, between April 2013 and April 2015 on patients who underwent screening colonoscopy, the authors concluded that for the first time an association between biopsy-proven nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and the burden of hyperplastic polyp (HP) was shown [1].

The same group has published in Israel Medical Association Journal on the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hyperplastic polyp [2].
