PRL and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: We have demonstrated that by using the following equation: 0.474*BMI (kg/m2) - 0.131 * PRL (μg/l) + 0.026*ALT (U/l) -2.139*HDL (mmol/l) - 8.758, and two cut-off points (− 0.79 and 1.71) in males, and 0.386*BMI (kg/m2) - 0.24 * PRL (μg/l) + 0.52*HbA1c (%) + 0.06*ALT (U/l) - 11.619, and two cut-off points (− 0.68 and 2.16) in females, NAFLD can be identified with a high sensitivity and specificity both in the estimation group and validation group.
