Visceral Obesity and Cytokeratin-18 Antigens as Early Biomarkers of Liver Damage

Visceral Obesity and Cytokeratin-18 Antigens as Early Biomarkers of Liver Damage

Visceral obesity is linked to the progression of fatty liver to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Cytokeratin-18 (CK18) epitopes M30 (CK18M30) and M65 (CK18M65) represent accurate markers for detecting NASH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of CK18M30 and CK18M65 levels with...
