The study included 60 metabolic syndrome patients (26 males, 34 females) and 42 healthy individuals (21 male, 21 female). Results. As a result we found that the frequency of hepatosteatosis in our metabolic syndrome patients was found as 78.3%, hs-CRP levels were significantly elevated in these patients and this elevation showed a positive correlation with the grade of hepatosteatosis.
