Liver Fibrosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Association of High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein to Albumin Ratio With Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Fatty Liver Disease and Liver Fibrosis: A Cross-sectional Study
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the associations between a novel inflammatory marker, high sensitivity C-reactiveprotein to albumin ratio (hsCAR), and steatosis and fibrosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: [question 1] Can hsCAR serve as a clinical indicator to determine whether a patient has MAFD? [question 2] Can hsCAR determine whether MAFLD patients are complicated with liver fibrosis?

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - Total participants from NHANES 2017-2020 - Participants diagnosed with MAFLD. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the term used to describe hepatic steatosis in the presence of metabolic abnormalities, excess weight, obesity, or type 2 diabetic mellitus. 1. Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus: (1) taking glucose-lowering drugs; (2) HbA1c = 6.5% (48 mmol/mol); (3) fasting plasma glucose = 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL); (4) 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG) = 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL). 2. Overweight or obesity: defined as BMI=25 kg/m2 in Caucasians or BMI=23 kg/m2 in Asians 3. If presence of at least two metabolic risk abnormalities: - Waist circumference=102/88 cm in Caucasian men and women (or=90/80 cm in Asian men and women) - Blood pressure=130/85 mmHg or specific drug treatment - Plasma triglycerides=150 mg/dl (=1.70 mmol/L) or specific drug treatment - Plasma HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dl (<1.0 mmol/L) for men and <50 mg/dl (<1.3 mmol/L) for women or specific drug treatment - Prediabetes (i.e., fasting glucose levels 100 to 125 mg/dl [5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L], or 2-hour post-load glucose levels 140 to 199 mg/dl [7.8 to 11.0 mmol] or HbA1c 5.7% to 6.4% [39 to 47 mmol/mol]) - Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance score=2.5 - Plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level >2 mg/L Exclusion Criteria: - Liver ultrasound data not available - participants without complete clinical data - participants under 18 years old - participants with cancer. |
