| Core Tip |
Serum cytokeratin 18 fragment (CK18F) has been developed as a new non-invasive test for risk assessment of steatotic liver disease (SLD). We included 125 patients who were assessed for SLD and had CK18F measured. Steatosis-associated fibrosis estimator (SAFE) score, liver stiffness (LS), and FibroScan-aspartate aminotransferase (FAST) score were compared with CK18F. CK18F was associated with aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and triglycerides (TG). FAST and SAFE score were associated with high CK18F (> 260 U/L), but not fibrosis-4 and LS. The risk of high CK18F was higher when high TG and low high-density lipoprotein were combined than when each was present alone. |
