High values of serum AFP in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis without HCC was correlated with more advanced age (p<0.001), severe necroinflammatory activity detected by FibroMax (p<0.001), severe NASH (p<0.001), severe steatosis (p<0.001), low platelets (p<0.001), increased values of AST and ALT (p<0.001). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
