GPT and cryohydrocytosis: In the CHC group, the mean age of diagnosis was 37.68±11.57 years, whereas in the chronic hepatitis C-related liver cirrhosis (CHC-LC) group, the mean age was 48.89±12.30 years (p=0.01). Compared to normal individuals, CHC patients had higher body mass index (BMI) (22.37±1.89 versus 21.72±1.95, p=0.01), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (36.70±7.13 versus 82.78±82.53, p=0.01), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (34.96±6.04 versus 80.82±91.77, p=0.01).
