AFP and Cirrhosis: By univariate analysis, higher BMI (P = 0.016), higher γ-GTP (P<0.01), lower platelet count (P = 0.046), lower total cholesterol (P = 0.013), higher AFP (P<0.01), higher aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio index (APRI) (P<0.01) and a lower proportion of fatty change of the liver (P<0.01) were observed in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.
