The diagnostic value of adding CTSD to AST/ALT ratio and LSM.
Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the AUC of using the combination of CTSD levels with AST/ALT ratio and LSM to predict MetALD/ALD. ALD, alcohol-related liver disease; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; CTSD, cathepsin D; LSM, liver stiffness measurement; MetALD, metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-related liver disease.
