Metabolomic/lipidomic‐based analysis of plasma to diagnose hepatocellular ballooning in patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease: A multicenter study

Abstract

Plasma levels of PC were positively correlated, and those of lysophosphatidylcholine and LPE were negatively correlated with hepatocellular ballooning in NAFLD patients. These non-invasive metabolic/lipidomic-based plasma tests might be useful to distinguish between cases of NAFLD with and without hepatocellular ballooning.
