UNASSIGNED: @entity1561 ( @entity1561 ) is the most common cause of elevated transaminases in adults. AIM: Determine the prevalence of NASH in @entity1 with sustained hypertransaminasemia, and Know the adequacy of the registered in Primary Care (AP) diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 1) Cross-sectional study with a random sample of @entity1 with elevated @entity3929 aminotransferase (ALT) held (ALT> 32 for >= 6 months), ruling out other causes of @entity409 , according to clinical, laboratory and ultrasound scan criteria in AP and 2) cross-sectional description of all cases diagnosed with NASH recorded (K76 - ICD10) with diagnostic adequacy analysis according to standard criteria. RESULTS: 290 @entity1 were analyzed: 76 were diagnosed as NASH (26.1%), 44 @entity1 (57.9%). Multivariate analysis adjusted for age and sex showed no association between NASH and male gender (OR: 0.5; CI95%: 0.3-0.9), @entity6 ( @entity6 ) (OR: 2.42; CI95%: 1.2-4.9) and @entity101 blood pressure (HBP) (OR: 3.07; CI 95% 1.6-5.6). Of the 209 diagnosed with NASH record: 51 (24.4%) met the criteria for NASH. The rest had insufficient records. HIGHLIGHTS: 53.1% lacked sustained hypertransaminasemia; 48% of viral serology; 11% supported and 53.1% abdominal ultrasound registration of @entity285 . CONCLUSIONS: Severe NASH is frequent among @entity1 with sustained hypertransaminasemia. The @entity6 and @entity101 significantly increase the risk of NASH. The diagnosis of NASH is recorded without considering all criteria and mainly NASH made by ultrasonography. They should unify diagnostic criteria in the register of NASH.
