Note:
Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcoholism, hypertension, diabetes, and anti-copper treatment. ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; BMI, body mass index; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; INR, international normalized ratio; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; PIIINP, procollagen type III terminal propeptide; PT, prothrombin time; PWR, platelet-to-white blood cell ratio; WD, Wilson disease
