Albuminuria Is Associated with Hepatic Iron Load in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract: Background: Increased albuminuria is associated with increased serum ferritin, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Liver iron accumulation is also related to hyperferritinemia, insulin resistance, and NAFLD; however, there is no evidence on its relationship with albuminuria. Aims: To assess the relationship between hepatic iron load and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and NAFLD. Methods: In total, 75 MetS and NAFLD patients (age… Show more

“…Biochemical analysis included fasting plasma glucose, liver transferases (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. They were quantified by standard enzymatic methods, as previously described [ 14 ].…”

“…Biochemical analysis was performed on participants' blood samples, which were collected from an antecubital vein after twelve hours overnight fast. All studied parameters were quantified by standard enzymatic methods [20]. These collections assessed aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), triglycerides, glucose and HDL-cholesterol.…”

“…Blood pressure was measured using a validated semi-automatic oscillometer (Omron HEM-705CP, Omron Healthcare Inc., Lake Forest, IL, USA) [20] and waist circumference was taken [20]. During lockdown, study personnel had telephonic contact with patients to help and motivate them to follow the diet and perform PA.…”
