Serum iron and risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and advanced hepatic fibrosis in US adults

Abstract Epidemiological evidence on the relationship between serum iron and liver diseases is limited. This study aims to investigate whether serum iron is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and advanced hepatic fibrosis (AHF). Cross-sectional data for adults aged ≥ 18 years w...
