dc.description.abstractObjective To evaluate the association of insulin resistance (IR), viral load, and adipokine levels with liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Patients and methods In this noninterventional, multicenter study carried out at 11 infectious diseases clinics in Turkey, 103 CHC patients [mean (SD) age: 50.2 (11.0) years, 60 (58.3%) women] planned to be treated by ribavirin and peginterferon-alpha 2a were included. Data on hepatic fibrosis and steatosis, IR, viral load, and hepatitis C virus-RNA genotyping, adipokine, and cytokine levels were collected. Results The mean (SD) Knodell score was 8.1 (3.6); grade I steatosis was evident in 46 (44.7%) patients and IR was identified in 56 (54.9%). There was a significant positive correlation of the homeostasis model assessment-IR index with Knodell fibrosis (r=0.235; P=0.027) and hepatic steatosis (r=0.435; P<0.001). There was a significant positive correlation of leptin levels with Knodell fibrosis (r=0.265; P=0.013) and hepatic activity index (r=0.218; P=0.041). Hepatic steatosis was correlated negatively with adiponectin (r=-0.320; P=0.001) and positively with leptin (r=-0.368; P<0.001) levels. Logistic regression analysis showed that increase in age [odds ratio (OR), 1.056; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.005-1.110; P=0.030] was the only significant predictor of hepatic fibrosis (OR, 1.056; 95% CI, 1.005-1.110; P=0.030), whereas increase in age (OR, 1.066; 95% CI, 1.006-1.130; P=0.030), the presence of IR (OR, 5.621; 95% CI, 1.547-20.425; P=0.009), and decrease in adiponectin levels (OR, 0.808; 95% CI, 0.682-0.957; P=0.013) were the significant predictors of hepatic steatosis. Conclusion Our findings indicate a significant relationship of hepatic fibrosis and hepatic steatosis with IR and leptin levels, but not with the viral load in Turkish patients with CHC.
