Analysis of the correlation between biochemical and pathological indexes and LN in AILD using logistic regression. The data are presented as medians and quartiles. was considered statistically significant. AILD: autoimmune liver disease; AST: aspartate amino transferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; GGT: glutamate transpeptidase.
