Aim: To determine the role of Lipid Profile in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Materials and methods: A present prospective cross-sectional study was performed on 60 patients at the outpatient and inpatient department of medicine involving patients in the age group 18-70 years. NAFLD was diagnosed on basis of clinical history, laboratory findings, and radiological investigation at the study center.Non-alcoholic individuals, either total abstainers or who consumed <30 g of alcohol per day for men and <20 g of alcohol per day for women with elevated liver enzymes and ultrasound showing hyperechoic liver suggestive of fatty liver were included. Complete blood picture, fasting lipid profile, and age and gender were recorded. Results: Most of the patients were in the age group of 35 to 45 (51.67%) and 45 to 55(25%) years. NAFLD was more prevalent in the age group 45 to 55. The prevalence of NAFLD was considerably higher in females (60%) than in men (40%).The mean age of NAFLD patients was 44.17. Out of 60 NAFLD patients, 36 were females and 24 were males. NAFLD patients were found to have a significant correlation with abnormal LDL, TG, and TC levels. Conclusion: As a result of this study, it is possible to conclude that serum biochemical analysis is one of the least expensive modalities for detecting changes associated with NAFLD, and it also reduces the exposure of these patients to unnecessary, expensive, complicated, and time-consuming investigations.
