Objective: Hepatosteatosis (HS) is the accumulation of fat in the liver, which is equivalent to at least 5% of the dry weight. Not only the average volume of thrombocytes (MPV), but also the average volume/lenfocytes ratio (MPVLR) is as a indicator of metabolic and inflammatory conditions. In this study, we aimed at comparing the MPVLR value of hepatosteatosis patients with a healthy control group. We also studied the correlation between CRP and MPVLR. Method: Patients with HS who apply to our institution's internal diseases clinics from December 2018 to December 2019 have been taken to work. MPVLR is calculated by the MPV/Lenfocite formula. Results: The median MPVLR value of HS and control groups was 4.3 % (2.1) and 3.6 % (1.7) respectively (p<0.001). The median CRP value of HS and control groups is 3. It was 6 (4.9) mg/L and 0.4 (0.2) mg/L (p<0.001). MPVLR had a positive and strong correlation with CRP (r=0.64, p<0.001). However, there was no correlation between MPVLR and LDL cholesterol, ALT and triglyceride. The result: Increased MPVLR value in patients with non-comorbidity should be stimulating for doctors in terms of HS. The strong positive correlation between CRP and MPVLR suggests that MPVLR is also a reliable inflammatory indicator.
