BACKGROUND: NAFLD is thought to affect approximately one-fourth of the world's population. Therefore, we evaluated the role of serum complement and immunoglobulins in the NAFLD pathogenesis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: 200 participants were used in this study, divided into two groups; Group I: 100 NAFLD patients and Group II: 100 healthy volunteers. The diagnosis of NAFLD is based on non-invasive methods, following the EASL guideline 2022. IgG, IgM, IgA, C3, and C4 assays were performed on all participants.
RESULTS: When the immunological profiles of patients with NAFLD and healthy controls were compared, it was found that the mean IgA in NAFLD patients was (4.20±5.07), whereas the mean IgA in healthy controls was (2.22±1.05) (P=0.000). Additionally, a significant increase in IgG was found in NAFLD patients (17.08±3.87) compared with healthy controls (11.59±3.34), with a P value of (p<0.001). complement C3 and complement C4 levels significantly increased in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients (1.28± 0.61 and 0.40 ± 0.19, respectively), compared to healthy controls (0.90 ±0.27 and 0.30 ±0.12, respectively), with a significant P value (p<0.001 for each).
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated IgA, IgG, C3 and C4 exist in patients with NAFLD and could be associated with fatty liver development and progression of hepatic fibrosis in patients with NAFLD.
