The patients were divided into three groups according to their biopsy results: The NAFL (n  = 36), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (n  = 51), and liver cirrhosis groups (n  = 17).<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>RESULTS<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>The differences in IgA, an immune marker, among the three groups of patients were statistically significant (P  = 0.025). In all NAFLD patients, antinuclear antibody and anti-smooth muscle antibody were the most common autoantibodies. The antinuclear antibody detection rate was the highest at 48.1%. The cirrhosis group had the highest autoantibody positivity rate (64.7%). Portal enlargement is also common in NAFLD patients. The rates of positivity for portal lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, small bile duct hyperplasia and interfacial hepatitis were highest in the cirrhosis group; the differences between the cirrhosis group and the other two groups were significant (P  &lt; 0.05). Hepatocellular rosettes were identified only in the cirrhosis group (11.8%).<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Autoimmune phenomena occur in NAFLD patients, especially in patients with NAFLD-related cirrhosis, in whom this phenomenon may be more pronounced.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4254\/wjh.v16.i12.1407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,29]],"date-time":"2024-11-29T04:26:26Z","timestamp":1732854386000},"page":"1407-1416","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evaluation of autoimmune phenomena in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease on the basis of liver pathology"],"prefix":"10.4254","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yu-Jin","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong-Gang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jian-Zhou","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jia-Qi","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wen-Wen","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chun-Yan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jia","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3760\/cma.j.issn.1007-3418.2018.03.008"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3760\/cma.j.cn51113-20201102-00592"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/8446170"},{"key":"B4","unstructured":"Jim M.
