A New Metabolism-Related Index Correlates with the Degree of Liver Fibrosis in Hepatitis C Virus-Positive Patients

Figure 1

Values of the metabolic-related new index (GA/HbA1c/BTR) in HCV-positive patients. The GA/HbA1c/BTR value increase correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis. There were significant differences in all of the comparisons between the fibrotic stages, including F0-F1 versus F2, F2 versus F3, and F3 versus F4 groups.
