Independent risk factors for severe steatosis (CAP > 280 dB/m) were BMI (OR 1.093, 95% CI 1.045–1.143, p < 0.001), presence of arterial hypertension (OR 1.877, 95% CI 1.046–3.368, p=0.035), ALT (OR 1.029, 95% CI 1.011–1.048, p=0.002), and platelets (OR 0.996, 95% CI 0.992–1.000, p=0.043). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is steatosis.
