In addition to the significant difference (P = 0.0006) observed in serum levels of suPAR between fibrosis and cirrhosis groups of patients (Table 3), positive correlations with most of noninvasive measures of liver injury were observed: albumin levels (P = 0.0001), APRI (P = 0.037), FIB-4 (P = 0.010), and FibroScan (P = 0.001) (Table 4). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is Cirrhosis.
