Gender difference in association between serum hs-crp level and NAFLD severity.

P-trend was calculated using multiple logistic regression analysis after adjusting abnormal alanine transaminase and metabolic components, such as high blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, and body mass index.

Hs-CRP, high sensitive C reactive protein; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
