Multivariate regression analysis of 14 variables (excluding ALT grade) revealed hypertension (OR: 2.24, p = 0.0026), a decreased lymphocyte count (OR: 2.72, p < 0.0001), an elevated LDH level (OR: 1.87, p = 0.002), an elevated CRP level (OR: 1.96, p = 0.016), and an elevated AST level (ORs of 1.83 for grade 2 and 3.35 for grade 1, p = 0.0038, and p = 0. Here, CRP is linked to Hypertension.
