Predictive value of angiopoietin-like protein 8 in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and its progression: A case-control study

Table 4 Spearman correlation of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease complicated with liver fibrosis with serum angiopoietin-like protein 8, C-reactive protein, and triglyceride-glucose index

	r	P valuea
ANGPTL8	0.489	< 0.001
TyG index	0.294	0.008
CRP	-0.238	0.033

^aP < 0.05 is considered significant.

ANGPTL8: Angiopoietin-like protein 8; CRP: C-reactive protein; TyG index: Triglyceride-glucose index.
