Liver Stiffness And Steatosis Assessment In Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Using Fibroscan

NCT07027332 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 36

Summary

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder prevalent among women of reproductive age. It is closely associated with insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction, often leading to hepatic steatosis (fatty liver). This single-center, cross-sectional, case-control study evaluates liver function in PCOS patients using FibroScan, a non-invasive elastography technique. Eighteen women diagnosed with PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria and 18 age- and BMI-matched healthy controls aged 18-45 years were included. The study aims to determine whether PCOS independently affects hepatic steatosis and to assess the clinical applicability of FibroScan in this population. The results may inform early metabolic risk detection and improve multidisciplinary management strategies for PCOS.
