IFNG and Hepatic fibrosis: Multivariable logistic regression models showed that advanced liver fibrosis was associated with an increased plasma level of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-7, IL-12, IL-17, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, MCP-1, Eotaxin, and FGF-basic, with FGF-basic continuing to be positively and significantly associated with advanced liver fibrosis, after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.92; 95%CI: 1.32–2.81; p = 0.001).
