Additionally, GGT, FIB4, and GPR could differentiate advanced fibrosis (F3-4) from non-advanced fibrosis (F1-2) among individuals with chronic hepatitis B, with AUROCs of 0.723 (95%CI 0.668–0.777), 0.729 (95%CI 0.675–0.782), and 0.760 (95%CI: 0.709–0.811) respectively. Here, ALDH18A1 is linked to chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
