Association between Serum Vitamin B12 Levels and the Degree of Steatosis in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Abstract

The serum vitamin B12 levels were significantly lower in the patients with NAFLD than in those of the control group; however, these still remain in the reference range. Consequently, low vitamin B12 levels may be associated with NAFLD especially in grade 2 to grade 3 hepatosteatosis.
