Figure 2 The relationship of serum ferritin levels and the liver histopathology. (A) Steatosis stage 1 vs 2–3, (B) inflammation activity from 1 to 4 points, (C) fibrosis stage from 1 to 4, (D) negative vs positive Perl’s staining. The value within the box ranges from the 25th to the 75th percentiles. The median is shown by the horizontal bar. The vertical bars represent the values between the minimum and the maximum. The * Indicates as p < 0.05 while *** as p < 0.001.
