Correlation of laboratory indexes of disease severity with serum monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) 1 concentrations in patients with alcoholic liver disease, using Spearman’s rank test
| Laboratory index | r Value | p Value |
|---|---|---|
| Serum aspartate aminotransferase | +0.47 | <0.01 |
| Creatinine2-150 | +0.36 | <0.01 |
| Bilirubin2-150 | +0.35 | <0.01 |
| Albumin | −0.33 | <0.05 |
| Prothrombin time increase | +0.15 | NS |
| Peripheral leucocyte count | +0.18 | NS |
↵2-150 Values transformed logarithmically for statistical analysis.
Linear regression analysis identified serum aspartate aminotransferase (p<0.01) and creatinine (p<0.05) as significant independent variables.
