As shown in Table 4, univariate analysis identified that CAP values greater than 250 dB/m, LS values greater than 7 kPa, ALT level greater than 60 IU/L, hypertension, current smoker, and presence of metabolic syndrome were significant for predicting NASH (all P<0.05). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
