Total patients and chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients coexisted with MetS had significant higher liver stiffness level than those without (8.7kPa vs 6.5 kPa, p = 0.01; 10.7 kPa vs 7.3 kPa, p = 0.049, respectively).

<p>Although chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients coexisted with Mets also had higher liver stiffness level than those without, the difference was not significant (7.3 kPa vs 5.9 kPs, p = 0.138).</p
