CRP and hepatocellular carcinoma: We did not find any difference in the overall survival or in the progression-free survival between NAFLD-related and other etiology-related HCC patients staged as BCLC B and BCLC C. NAFLD-related HCC patients with three or more liver lesions had a shorter overall survival when compared to patients with one or two liver lesions (p = 0.0097), while patients with baseline CRP values of ≥5 mg/L or with PLR ≥ 150 had worse overall survival (p = 0.012 and p = 0.0028, respectively).
