Additional nonalcoholic steatohepatosis was registered in 109 (64.1%) patients, 61 (35.9%) patients had no signs of liver impression. In patients with concomitant steatohepatosis significantly 3th degree of hypertension was more frequently observed. Patients with stage II hypertension and concomitant "fatty" liver infiltration had some significant (p&lt;0.05) differences compared with patients without steatohepatosis: decreased index of endothelial dysfunction, a higher incidence of atherosclerotic plaque registration and increased arterial stiffness index. Thus, the index of endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness, describing the initial functional and structural changes of the vessel wall, and increased frequency of atherosclerotic plaques detection may be considered as additional markers of overall cardiovascular risk in patients with second stage hypertension and concomitant nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.</p&gt;}, number={27}, journal={Biomedical and Biosocial Anthropology}, author={Gribenyuk, O.
