Similarly, the stage of liver fibrosis correlated with the various fibrosis indexes (AST/ALT ratio, p<0.001; APRI, p<0.01; NAFLD fibrosis score, p<0.001; FIB 4 score, p<0.001; BARD score, p<0.001) (see Figure 2 a–h, Table 4). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
