Background & AimsWe explored whether growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) affects the histological severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) independent of insulin resistance.MethodsIn a biopsy-proven NAFLD cohort, we measured serum GDF15 levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.ResultsAmong 190 subjects (mean age, 5314years; men, 52.1%), 72 (men, 65.3%) and 78 (men, 44.9%) were diagnosed with biopsy-proven non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) respectively. GDF15 levels were significantly higher in NASH patients than in controls (P=.010) or NAFL patients (P=.001). Subjects with advanced fibrosis (F3) also showed higher GDF15 levels compared to the others (F0-2; P
