Systemic immuno-metabolic inflammatory indices (neutrophil-to-HDL cholesterol ratio and systemic inflammation response index) are strongly associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a propensity score-matched study
Systemic immuno-metabolic inflammatory indices reflecting innate immune activation and lipid-related anti-inflammatory dysfunction (NHR and SIRI) are closely associated with MASLD. The combined assessment of NHR, SIRI, and ALT provides a robust, clinically accessible approach with significant incremental value for identifying immuno-metabolic risk in MASLD, highlighting the central role of systemic immune dysregulation in metabolic liver disease.
