Clinical Trial Summary

This study included 70 subjects divided into 3 groups. Group I included 25 patients with NAFLD. Group II included 25 patients with NAFLD and chronic HCV. Group III: included 20 controls. Abdominal ultrasound was done to patients and controls. Plasma pentraxin-3 (PTX3) was measured using ELISA. Comparison between three groups was done regarding plasma pentraxin-3. Higher levels of plasma PTX3 were detected in NAFLD patients irrespective of presence or absence of chronic HCV infection. Plasma PTX3 could be used as a non-invasive test for prediction of metabolic syndrome in the high-risk population with high sensitivity and moderate specificity.
