Patients with HCC showed worse liver function: higher alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p = 0.019), higher aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p < 0.001), lower platelet count (p < 0.001), lower albumin (p < 0.001), higher international normalized ratio (INR) (p = 0.007), and higher total bilirubin (p = 0.010) compared to patients with cirrhosis. Here, GPT is linked to Cirrhosis.
