GPT and Hepatic fibrosis: In the association tests, those with significant liver fibrosis based on the TE results, compared to patients without fibrosis, had higher serum ferritin levels (228.1 ± 222.7 versus 155.9 ± 162.5 ng/mL; p = 0.0242), and higher values of GGT (70.2 ± 57.1 versus 35.8 ± 25.0 U/L; p = 0.0003), ALT (29.5 ± 28.7 versus 20.5 ± 11.5 U/L; p = 0.0045), and AST (26.3 ± 18.9 versus 18.7 ± 5.4 U/L; p = 0.125).
