Mac-2 binding protein in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Is it a reliable diagnostic biomarker? A pilot study.

Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to assess the level of serum Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2BP) as a non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Material And Methods: Forty patients with NAFLD and 15 healthy sex- and age-matched subjects were included in this pilot study. Serum Mac-2BP level was measured using ELISA.
