Optimizing the Use of the Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase-to-Platelet Ratio and Transient Elastography to Identify Liver Cirrhosis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Concurrent with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Figure 2

Box and whisker plots of TE, GPR, APRI, and FIB-4 at each fibrosis stage. TE, GPR, APRI, and FIB-4 increased significantly from F2 to F3 (, , , and ). Moreover, TE and GPR were further increased from F3 to F4 ( and ). However, no differences existed between F3 and F4 for APRI and FIB-4 ( and ). TE: transient elastography; GPR: gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-platelet ratio; APRI: aspartate aminotransferase- (AST-) to-platelet ratio index; FIB-4: fibrosis-4; ; ; .
