| Core Tip |
Methotrexate (MTX) is the cornerstone of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and has been associated with the development of liver fibrosis (LF) and liver steatosis (LS). The objective of this work was to study if LS in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with MTX and determine the association with body mass index, MTX cumulative dose, sex, LF, and metabolic syndrome. We concluded that LS in patients with rheumatoid arthritis on MTX treatment was not related to MTX-cumulative dose, LF, the male sex, or metabolic syndrome. In our study, body mass index was significantly associated with LS in these patients. |
