| Title: | [Proinflammatory cytokine levels depending on the stage of hepatic fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease]. |
| Abstract: | AIM: To study levels of systemic inflammation markers and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAL-1) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and establish their relationship with the progress of selected stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 129 patients aged 18-59 yr with abdominal obesity and MS underwent elastometry for the assessment of the degree of fibrosis depending on concomitant metabolic disorders and measurement of proinflammatory cytokine levels. RESULTS: Disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in MS patients are associated with the high levels of systemic inflammation markers (CRP, TNF-α, IL-6) and a two-fold rise in the PAI-1 level. The progress of fibrosis is associated with the increase of cytokine levels. CONCLUSION: Patients with MS and NAFLD associated with disorders of carbohydrate metabolism need to be examined by elastometry for the detection of fibrosis with simultaneous measurement of IL-6 and PAI-1 levels as cardiovascular risk factors. |
