Abstract

Introduction

There is increasing evidence that pancreatic steatosis (PS) is associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). However, it is not known whether it is associated with PS grade and pancreatic stiffness, or not. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between PS and its grade detected by transabdominal ultrasound, and pancreatic stiffness determined by two-dimensional shearwave elastography (2D-SWE), whether it has clinical significance and its relationship with MS.

Methods

Patients with and without PS were evaluated prospectively.

Results

Patients with PS had higher odds ratio for MS (OR 5.49). Also, ultrasonographic grade of PS was associated with MS parameters and hepatosteatosis. Pancreatic SWE value was significantly higher in PS group and positively correlated with PS grade, liver fat, MS, number of MS criteria.

Discussion/Conclusion

PS and its grade were associated with MS. In this first comprehensive PS-SWE study, we found that pancreas stiffness increased in the presence of PS, in correlation with PS grade and MS.
