Hepatic steatosis measured by FibroTouch showed a weak negative correlation with gender (male) and age, a moderate negative correlation with AST/ALT ratio, a weak positive correlation with hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, FBG, UA, TG, AST, GGT, LSM and staging of hepatic fibrosis, and a moderate positive correlation with weight, BMI, waist and ALT (P < 0.05) (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and hyperlipidemia.
