Comparison between Patients with and Those without Advanced Fibrosis by Using MR Elastography

Note.—Unless otherwise indicated, data are means ± standard deviations. Advanced fibrosis was defined as liver stiffness greater than 4.15 kPa. To convert from international units per liter to microkatals per liter, multiply by 0.0167. To convert from milligrams per deciliter (for cholesterol levels) to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259. To convert from milligrams per deciliter (for triglyceride level) to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0113. To convert from milligrams per deciliter (for glucose level) to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0555. HDL = high-density lipoprotein.
