The Inflammatory C-Reactive Protein Is Increased in Both Liver and Adipose Tissue in Severely Obese Patients Independently from Metabolic Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes, and NASH

Description

C-Reactive Protein (CRP), a nonspecific marker of inflammation that is moderately elevated in obesity, metabolic syndrome (MS), and type 2 diabetes, has been proposed as a surrogate marker of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Its clinical usefulness in the diagnosis of NASH was evaluated in severely obese patients without or with MS, diabetes, and NASH and the potential roles of the liver and of the adipose tissue in CRP production were characterized.
