Cut-off, U/L or IU/L* Sensitivity, % Specificity, % PPV, % NPV, %
Plasma M30 293 71.8 40.7 46.7 66.7
432 56.4 63.0 52.4 66.7
474 43.6 64.8 47.2 61.4
Serum ALT 53 79.5 40.7 49.2 73.3
67 71.8 59.3 56.0 74.4
100 41.0 79.6 59.3 65.2
Serum AST 30 84.6 40.7 50.8 78.6
48 69.2 77.8 69.2 77.8
65 43.6 90.7 77.3 69.0
Serum GGT 49 84.6 42.6 51.6 79.3
84 64.1 70.4 61.0 73.1
109 46.2 77.8 60.0 66.7

ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; GGT, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase; NASH, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.

* Cut-off with high sensitivity, highest overall accuracy and high specificity were presented.
