Abstract

In conclusion, serum HA, IL-8 and TNF-alpha levels increased in patients with NASH. Their relation with the severity of histopathology is not significant. Serum HA levels may be a useful marker to monitor the conversion from fibrosis to cirrhosis. Further studies are needed on this topic.
