We examined the relationship between controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSM), as assessed by transient elastography (TE), and different clinical and biochemical parameters in patients with one or more components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The hypothesis of the study was that LSM and CAP values correlate with the number of MetS components.

Abstract
We examined the relationship between controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSM), as assessed by transient elastography (TE), and different clinical and biochemical parameters in patients with one or more components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The hypothesis of the study was that LSM and CAP values correlate with the number of MetS components.
