NASH and insulin resistance: Insulin hypersecretion and specific association with the insulin resistance syndromeHepatology, 35
This is the first report to demonstrate consistent and profound elevation of hs-CRP in cases of NASH compared with in cases of simple nonprogressive steatosis. Our results suggest that hs-CRP may be a clinical feature that not only distinguishes NASH from simple nonprogressive steatosis but also indicates the severity of hepatic fibrosis in cases of NASH.
