Core Tip	Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin-6 are not only key-cytokines in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but can also inducing hepatic steatosis (HS) in general population. RA patients treated with Methotrexate (MTX) or TNF-α inhibitors or Tocilizumab underwent an abdominal ultrasonography for the assessment of presence of HS and the evaluation of its grade. At baseline and after 12 mo no difference was detected either in the prevalence of HS or in that of its distinct grades between the patients treated with MTX or TNF-αinhibitors or Tocilizumab.
