Fatty liver-index, systemic inflammation and cardiovascular mortality. Results from the LURIC study
The Fatty Liver Index is not associated with cardiovascular mortality. However, this relationship is modified by systemic inflammation. These results indicate that liver steatosis is particularly relevant in presence of systemic inflammation which suggests that risk assessment in individuals with steatosis needs to consider both metabolic and inflammatory markers.
