Furthermore, higher Age, TB, and INR levels correlated positively with advanced stages of fibrosis (P = 0.013, P = 0.001 and P = 0.001 respectively), while ALT, Hgb and PLTs negatively correlated with higher stages of fibrosis (P = 0.017, P = 0.013 and P = 0.0001, respectively). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is tuberculosis.
