IL17A and steatosis: However, in patients with mild/moderate steatosis, a significant positive correlation was observed between the SII and IL17A (r = 0.36, p = 0.010), the PIV and the CAR (r = 0.29, p = 0.011), the PIV and the SII (r = 0.87, p < 0.0001), and the PIV and IL17A (r = 0.3, p = 0.036).
