Increased Serum Angiotensin II Is a Risk Factor of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Prospective Pilot Study by Yue Li, Feng Xiong, Wen Xu, Side Liu

“…Multivariable analysis showed that Ang II level is an independent risk factor of NAFLD whether abdominal ultrasound (OR=1.056, p=0.037) or FibroScan Cap value (OR=1.069, p=0.013) was deemed as the diagnostic standard. Furthermore, stepwise regression analysis was carried out between Ang II with other parameters and we discovered that Ang II had a linear correlation with IL-1β. …”
