LGALS3 and chronic hepatitis C virus infection: The AUROC analysis revealed that the AUROCs of both Fuc-Hpt and Mac-2 bp were sufficient to evaluate the fibrotic grade in patients with chronic hepatitis C and although neither the Fuc-Hpt nor Mac-2 bp levels exceeded the values of the known fibrotic markers, the usefulness of these markers was comparable with the known fibrotic markers, such as the FIB4 index or APRI.
