Description
Alihan Oral and co-authors present a 2026 retrospective study of thyroid hormones and fatty liver disease in people whose thyroid tests all sit inside the normal range. The patients were living liver donor candidates, which gave the team the rare advantage of biopsy-proven liver status.
The comparison set 227 people with confirmed fatty liver against 145 without. The fatty liver group showed the expected metabolic burden, with higher liver enzymes, blood fats, insulin resistance, and body mass. Free T3 and free T4 levels differed significantly between the groups, and both hormones related negatively to the stage of liver fat accumulation. The authors conclude that thyroid hormone levels at the lower end of normal may mark risk for steatosis even when the thyroid reads as healthy.
