Popis: The authors present a case of a nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, with progression to liver cirrhosis in an obese female patient. A review of the literature, possible evolution, and principle pathological processes involved is made. Attention is drawn to obesity as a risk factor in the progression of steatohepatitis and the advantage of performing liver biopsies in selected cases as a fundamental technique of diagnosis.
