Reduction-%LMR, reduction percentages of liver-to-muscle signal intensity ratio; HH15, index of blood clearance; LHL15, receptor index; AST, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase; ALT, alanine amino-transferase; r-GTP, r-glutamyl transpeptidase; T-Bil, total-bilirubin; Alb, serum albumin level; Plt, platelet count; PT, prothrombin time; ICG15, indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min; HA, hyaluronic acid. Values are Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (Spearman r).
