A Study of Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Alcoholic-Fatty Liver Disease and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Abstract

Background: Increased levels of various circulating chemicals have been associated with fatty liver disease inflammatory markers. The difference in the level of increased inflammatory markers between patients with AFLD and NAFLD is still unclear. Aims & Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the inflammatory markers between patients with alcoholic-fatty liver disease (AFLD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). mterial and method: This descriptive study included 50 individuals with fatty liver disease (25 NAFLD, 25 AFLD). Venous blood samples were taken from fasting patients to assess inflammatory markers (CRP, IL6, TNF α). Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t- test, with p values < 0.05 considered significant.
