Our study revealed that the progression of cirrhosis is associated with elevated levels of HGF (Dataset 1-OR = 1.052, 95% CI = 1.005–1.102; p = 0.031; Dataset 2-OR = 1.071, 95% CI = 1.009–1.136; p = 0.025), suggesting that disease progression may increase HGF expression, thereby activating liver repair functions. Here, HGF is linked to Cirrhosis.
