Data is stratified by steatosis (MRI proton density fat fraction >5%) or no steatosis (MRI proton density fat fraction <5%), use of CFTR modulator lumacaftor/ivacaftor, and diabetes status. Data are presented as median and range. To convert total bilirubin from μmol/L to mg/dL multiply by 0.0585.To convert triglycerides from mmol/L to mg/dL multiply by 88.5. To convert LDL from mmol/L to mg/dL multiply by 38.7. To convert HDL from mmol/L to mg/dL multiply by 38.7. CFRD: cystic fibrosis related diabetes. NGT: normal glucose tolerance; AST: Aspartate transaminase; ALT: Alanine transaminase; GGT: Gamma-glutamyltransferase; LDL: Low density lipoprotein; HDL: High density lipoprotein; BMI: Body mass index.
