Abstract
Background/Aims: Hepatocyte apoptosis is an important and invasive predictor of liver injury and fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Increased gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) level is frequently observed in NAFLD. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) Stimulates fibrogenesis and is correlated with GGT. The study aimed to determine whether GGT can distinguish NAFLD) patients at high risk.
