An inverted U-shaped association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and the albumin ratio and hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis: a population-based study
We demonstrate an inverted U-shaped relationship between Ln(CAR) and CAP risk within the U.S. demographic. Our results suggest that CAR may serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for NAFLD. Further prospective research is necessary to validate this conclusion.
