Özet

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the accumulation of excess fat in the liver in the absence of alcohol consumption, which commonly coexists with obesity. NAFLD is associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis and insulin resistance. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of platelet activation, which is a determinant of atherosclerosis.
