The AUC values of CRP, WBC, LYMPH, ALI and CA were all higher than 0.60 for both MAFLD (0.61, 0.62, 0.63, 0.63 and 0.60 respectively) and NAFLD (0.61, 0.61, 0.62, 0.62 and 0.60 respectively), and their ROCs are presented in Supplementary Fig. 5. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
