The aim of the present study was to determine adiponectin concentrations in patients with different forms and stages of chronic liver diseases. Serum adiponectin concentrations were measured in 232 fasting patients with chronic liver disease: 64 with NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), 123 with other chronic liver disease (e.g. viral hepatitis, n=71; autoimmune disease, n=18; alcohol-induced liver disease, n=3; or elevated liver enzymes of unknown origin, n=31) and 45 with cirrhosis. Circulating adiponectin levels were significantly lower in patients with NAFLD in comparison with patients with other chronic liver disease (4.8\u00b13.5 compared with 10.4\u00b16.3\u00a0\u03bcg\/ml respectively; P&amp;lt;0.0001). Circulating adiponectin levels were significantly higher in patients with cirrhosis in comparison with patients without cirrhosis (18.6\u00b114.5 compared with 8.4\u00b16.1\u00a0\u03bcg\/ml respectively; P&amp;lt;0.0001). Adiponectin concentrations correlated negatively with body weight (P&amp;lt;0.001), serum triacylglycerols (triglycerides) (P&amp;lt;0.001) and, in women, with BMI (body mass index) (P&amp;lt;0.001). Adiponectin concentrations correlated positively with serum bile acids (P&amp;lt;0.001), serum hyaluronic acid (P&amp;lt;0.001) and elastography values (P&amp;lt;0.001). Adiponectin levels were decreased in patients with NAFLD. In conclusion, adiponectin levels correlate positively with surrogate markers of hepatic fibrosis (transient elastography, fasting serum bile acids and hyaluronate) and are significantly elevated in cases of cirrhosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/cs20100008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,7]],"date-time":"2010-06-07T13:08:02Z","timestamp":1275916082000},"page":"431-436","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Significance of serum adiponectin levels in patients with chronic liver disease"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Maria\u00a0Luisa","family":"Balmer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and Visceral Research, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeannine","family":"Joneli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and Visceral Research, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Schoepfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Farncombe Family Institute of Digestive Health Research, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felix","family":"Stickel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and Visceral Research, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Thormann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and Visceral Research, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Dufour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and Visceral Research, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"University Clinic of Visceral Surgery and Medicine, Inselspital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021113010114767400_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"293","DOI":"10.1530\/eje.0.1480293","article-title":"The role of the novel adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin in human disease","volume":"148","author":"Diez","year":"2003","journal-title":"Eur.
