Cytokeratin 18 fragment is associated with steatosis-associated fibrosis estimator score and lipid in patients with steatotic liver disease

Figure 3 Triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein influenced cytokeratin 18 fragment levels. A: High triglycerides (TGs) were > 126 mg/dL. Figures in brackets were the number of patients. P value for the Mann–Whitney U test is indicated in the figure. Y axis is cytokeratin 18 fragment (CK18F) (U/L); B: High CK18F rate in the normal and high TG groups. P value for the χ² test is shown in the figure; C: Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) group with values < 56 mg/dL; D: High CK18F rate in the normal and low HDL groups; E: High TG and low HDL scores were calculated with high TG as 1 point and low HDL as 1 point. P value for the analysis of variance test is shown on the figure. P values between groups for the Dunn test; F: High CK18F rate for high TG and low HDL score. ANOVA: Analysis of variance; TGHHDLL: Triglycerides high (> 126 mg/dL) and high-density lipoprotein low (≤ 56 mg/dL).
