A Retrospective Study On Liver Function Tests & Urine Protein in Presumptive Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Cases Performed in A Local Private Laboratory Service
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) could be diagnosed either by imaging or histology, and laboratory parameters from Renal Function Test (RFT) such as Aspartate-aminotransferase (AST), Alanine-aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), as well as Urine Protein (UP).

The results show that the level of GGT shows an insignificant association between genders (p >0.05), but shows a statistically significant association between the age group of respondents (p <0.05). In addition, results from AST indicated that the gender of respondents has a significant relationship with AST (p <0.05), but an insignificant correlation between the age groups (p >0.05). The results also showed also that ALT had an insignificant correlation between the gender of respondents (p >0.05), but is significantly correlated with the age of respondents (p <0.05). Lastly, Chi-square test of independence gave a result of p-value = 0.137 (p >0.05), which proved insignificant correlation between the gender of respondents and presence of UP, and p-value = 0.261 (p >0.05), which proved insignificant correlation between age of respondents and presence of UP.
