GP73: Golgi protein 73; INR: International normalized ratio; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; γ-GT: γ-glutamyl transpeptidase; ALP: Alkaline phosphatase; AFP: Alpha-fetoprotein; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma. No multi-collinearity was found between the independent variables in regression analysis and the variance inflation factors ranged from 1.147 to 1.600.
