Fatty liver was graded by sonography (SGFL) and FibroScan (FGFL). In addition, liver fibrosis was graded through FGLF. Damages to the portal, hepatic, and splenic veins were evaluated by color Doppler\/dopplex. Serum liver enzymes and C-reactive protein (CRP) were also measured.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results:<\/jats:title>Significant association existed between SGFL and FGFL (P<\/jats:italic>= 0.006). Portal vein pulsatility index (PI) and phasicity plus the triphasic and monophasic pattern of hepatic veins significantly associated with fatty liver grade evaluated by sonography. Splenic vein Peak systolic velocity and PI showed significant association with FGFL. Eventually, elevated liver enzymes and CRP significantly correlated with FGLF.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>We found that the severity of fatty liver is correlated with hepatic and portal veins damages; however, the degree of parenchymal fibrosis was independent to these indices and can be directly evaluated by FGFL. In addition, elevated liver enzymes and CRP correlated with the degree of fibrosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jcis.jcis_93_17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,3]],"date-time":"2018-04-03T07:25:18Z","timestamp":1522740318000},"page":"12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Laboratory Tests, Liver Vessels Color Doppler Sonography, and FibroScan Findings in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: An Observation Study"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Ahmad","family":"Alizadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Poursina Hospital, Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Rasht, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fariborz","family":"Mansour-Ghanaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases Research Center, Razi Hospital, Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Rasht, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ava","family":"Roozdar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Poursina Hospital, Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Rasht, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Farahnaz","family":"Joukar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caspian Digestive Diseases Research Center, Guilan University of Medical Science, Rasht, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masood","family":"Sepehrimanesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastrointestinal Cancer Screening and Prevention Research Center, Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Rasht, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seyedeh Amineh","family":"Hojati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caspian Digestive Diseases Research Center, Guilan University of Medical Science, Rasht, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alireza","family":"Mansour-Ghanaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.4103\/jcis.JCIS_93_17\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"960","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2003.07486.x","article-title":"The prevalence and etiology of elevated aminotransferase levels in the United States","volume":"98","author":"Clark","year":"2003","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"10.4103\/jcis.JCIS_93_17\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1159\/000282080","article-title":"Epidemiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease","volume":"28","author":"Bellentani","year":"2010","journal-title":"Dig Dis"},{"key":"10.4103\/jcis.JCIS_93_17\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.15171\/mejdd.2016.18","article-title":"The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; A population-based study","volume":"8","author":"Fattahi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Middle East J Dig Dis"},{"key":"10.4103\/jcis.JCIS_93_17\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7392","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v20.i23.7392","article-title":"Radiologic evaluation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease","volume":"20","author":"Lee","year":"2014","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"10.4103\/jcis.JCIS_93_17\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-5491.2007.02025.x","article-title":"Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the metabolic syndrome and the risk of cardiovascular disease: The plot thickens","volume":"24","author":"Targher","year":"2007","journal-title":"Diabet Med"},{"key":"10.4103\/jcis.JCIS_93_17\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2005","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.25762","article-title":"The diagnosis and management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Practice guideline by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, American College of Gastroenterology, and the American Gastroenterological Association","volume":"55","author":"Chalasani","year":"2012","journal-title":"Hepatology"},{"key":"10.4103\/jcis.JCIS_93_17\/ref-7","first-page":"406","article-title":"Splanchnic haemodynamics in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Effect of a dietary\/pharmacological treatment.
