Triglycerides, cholesterol and lipoprotein ratios showed higher levels in NASH and correlated with NAFLD severity, and above these cut-off ratios, we can rule in the NASH cases which confer also the cardiovascular morbidities. Structured lipid ratios could serve as markers to screen NASH progression from simple steatosis cases and clarify the link of NASH with the cardiovascular risk prediction in overweight and obese patients.
