Speculation of the Time-Dependent Change of FIB4 Index in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Retrospective Study

Figure 3

All the three correlations with the absolute value of less than 0.80. The value of was defined as the period from the first to each examination date and also the value of was defined as the mean value of FIB4 index during the past one year to each examination date. In all the three correlations, values of gradually increased and then at once reached the peak, which was so-called “second peak point.” After this point to the last point of data in each correlation, there was the bottom point, which was so-called “second bottom point.”
