Highlights
TNF-α and triglycerides and lower serum adiponectin were associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) hepatic steatosis and metabolic syndrome, while higher
Body mass index (BMI) and serum triglycerides were associated with more advanced fibrosis stage
Aim of the work:We aimed to evaluate metabolic factors associated with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients infected with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), and to assess the impact of insulin resistance and serum adipocytokines levels on hepatic steatosis and fibrosis relative to other factors
