Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, spleen and XXXX : New aspects of low-grade chronic @entity32 .

@entity1 @entity32 @entity1569 @entity28 @entity1560
AIM: To investigate spleen status in @entity1569 and its relationship with @entity1560 , Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, and insulin resistance. METHODS: Seventy-nine psoriatic @entity1 who were not suffering from any chronic @entity32 were retrospectively selected for inclusion in this study, and their complete medical records were accessed. An age- and sex-matched group of 80 non-psoriatic, @entity28 @entity1 was included as a control. The following relevant data were collected: age, sex, weight, height, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, insulin resistance status, age at @entity1569 onset, and severity of @entity1569 . Abdominal ultrasonography was performed to determine spleen longitudinal diameter (SLD), and @entity1560 grade. RESULTS: The SLD of control @entity28 @entity1 was greater than that of psoriatic subjects (P = 0.013), but body mass index predicted the size of the spleen in psoriatic @entity1 (P < 0.001). The SLD of psoriatic @entity1 with normal weight was significantly reduced with respect to the overweight/ @entity28 psoriatic @entity1 (P = 0.002). A multiple regression analysis revealed that body mass index was a unique predictor of the spleen size (P < 0.001). Finally, the disease duration predicted the spleen size in psoriatic subjects (P = 0.038). CONCLUSION: This study shows a correlation between the SLD and the duration of @entity1569 .
