Increased Serum Angiotensin II Is a Risk Factor of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Prospective Pilot Study

Figure 2

Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis showed that Ang II alone can discriminate control and NAFLD patients where the area under curve (AUC) was 0.6452 (a) and, especially when Ang II was combined with body weight, TG, and serum insulin which are shown in Table 2, the AUC was 0.9167 (b), suggesting that Ang II was an important factor associated with NAFLD.
