Description
Ilaria Milani and co-authors study a blood protein across metabolic diseases in a 2026 paper. Fetuin-A may link obesity, both types of diabetes, and fatty liver disease. The team measured it in patients and checked livers with ultrasound-based scans.
The study covered 105 patients plus 13 controls. Fetuin-A ran higher in every patient group than in controls, highest in obesity without diabetes. It tracked with body size, waist measures, and blood fats. It also rose with liver fat scores but not with scarring. The authors propose it as a marker of fatty liver with fair accuracy.
