Core Tip	Three main types of steatosis in the patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are known: a metabolic type associated with metabolic syndrome, viral steatosis directly triggered by the virus and a “middle ground” between metabolic and viral mechanisms. Liver steatosis is a common histological feature of chronic hepatitis C infection, and the recent studies have shown that it is strongly correlated negatively with adiponectin levels. This finding suggests that adiponectin may have a role in modulating the progression of hepatic steatosis in HCV infected patients.
