• The MRI-based proton density fat fraction provides a quantitative assessment of hepatic steatosis with high accuracy. • No significant effect of hepatic steatosis on MRE-based liver stiffness measurement was found in patients with S1, S2, and S3 steatosis and between all steatosis grades after patients were grouped according to fibrosis stage. • After adjusting for fibrosis stage and age, there was no statistically significant relationship between liver stiffness and proton density fat fraction in patients with hepatic steatosis (p = 0.065).
