UNLABELLED: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can manifest as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or severe fibrosis, is the most prevalent chronic liver disease in children and adolescents. However, there is no proven cure for it so far. This study was conducted to determine whether adolescents with NAFLD would improve with treatment intervention with orlistat. This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Fifty-three adolescents with overweight/obese as well as with NAFLD randomly allocated to receive orlistat (n = 27) or placebo as control (n = 26) for 12 weeks. In addition, NAFLD activity score, anthropometric factors, biochemical parameters including serum levels of lipid profiles, liver enzyme, and glucose metabolism taken from subjects at baseline and end of the study were investigated. The findings of our article indicated that orlistat improves liver enzymes (alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase) (P = < 0.001), steatosis score (P = 0.001), NAFLD activity score (P = < 0.001), weight (P = < 0.001), body mass index (BMI) (P = < 0.001), waist circumferences (WC) (P = < 0.001), BMI-Z score (P = < 0.001), glucose metabolism (P = 0.001), total cholesterol (TC) (P = 0.009), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL) (P = < 0.001), and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol HDL levels (P = 0.014) compared to the control group after adjusting for possible confounders for 12 weeks. However, no significant changes were observed on triglyceride (TG) following intake of orlistat compared to placebo after adjusting for confounders.
CONCLUSION: The findings of our study reported that orlistat improved NAFLD-related factors and metabolic syndrome-related factors compared to placebo for 12 weeks.

WHAT IS KNOWN: • Among the interventions of interest for the management of pediatric NAFLD, we can mention lifestyle and pharmaceutical measures.
WHAT IS NEW: • This study was conducted to determine whether adolescents with NAFLD would improve with treatment intervention with orlistat. • The findings of our study reported that orlistat improved NAFLD-related factors and metabolic syndrome-related factors compared to placebo for 12 weeks.
