Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the level of IL-6 > 4.81 pg/mL [odds ratio (OR): 33.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.7-680.7, p ≤ 0.022] as an independent predictor of the degree of steatosis but not of NASH [21]. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
