Intrahepatic mRNA for CXCL10 and CXCR3 were both strongly associated with liver fibrosis on regression analysis for TE (η2 = 0.40, p<0.001 and η2 = 0.14, p = 0.026) and liver biopsy (odds ratio 1.10 (1.04, 1.16), p = 0.001, odds ratio 3.52 (1.33, 9.26), p = 0.011 (Table 2)). Here, CXCR3 is linked to Hepatic fibrosis.
