Including Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 in Combined Biomarker Panels Improves Predictions of Liver Steatosis Severity in Children
Abstract
Background: Previous studies reported conflicting results regarding the association between fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of combining FGF-21, obesity indices, and biochemical tests for predicting high-grade liver steatosis in children. Methods: A total of 203 children and adolescents aged 5-18 years were enrolled, and their anthropometric data,...
