Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Thrombocytopenia III: Its Association With Insulin Resistance

Abstract: Thrombocytopenia (less than 100 × 109/L platelets) presents in around one quarter of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the hepatic component of insulin resistance (IR). It is unknown whether IR, by itself, associates with thrombocytopenia. Persons with NAFLD and/or IR were prospectively accrued in the study after February 2018. Insulin resistance was defined by assessing α hydroxybutyrate, lynoleoyl glycerolphosphocoline, oleic acid, and insulin (Quantose IR), whereas the presence of NAFL… Show more

“…Furthermore, Ref. [51] showed that the mean Quantose M Q score was elevated in IR patients. The author explored the reason for that increasing in the score, pointing to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a possible cause, which involves NAFLD (involved in oxidative stress, including a set of molecules such as adipokines, chemokine and proinflammatory cytokines).…”

“…Strictly speaking, the cause of the thrombocytopenia we observe in NAFLD is unknown, but several explanations have been offered, such as a certain degree of hypersplenism, bone marrow hypoplasia, reduced peripheral blood cell survival, thrombopoietin deficiency, among others. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Since hypersplenism may lead into granulocytopenia, we also explored the association of NAFLD, granulocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia and found that there is a significant association between these variables, thus suggesting that hypersplenism may somehow be involved in the origin of the cytopenias observed in people with NAFLD. 4 As a result of the studies that have been conducted in this condition, we have learned that the salient features of the NAFLD-associated thrombocytopenia are: (1) it presents in around one-fifth of patients, depending on the method employed to define the liver damage; (2) it is associated with excess weight; (3) it is usually mild, with platelet count above 40 Â 10 9 /L; (4) it is not associated to mucocutaneous bleeding; and (5) it does not need specific treatment to improve the platelet count.…”

“…Since 2014, we have been conducting prospective studies to assess the presence of thrombocytopenia (less than 100 Â 10 9 /L platelets) in persons with NAFLD without overt liver cirrhosis. [1][2][3][4] The concept was initially entertained by Dasanu et al in 2010. 5 To define the presence of NAFLD, several methods can be employed: liver biopsy, serologic determinations (Fibromax), and liver transient elastography (TE/Fibroscan).…”
