Fig 1.
The distribution width at the level of 20% was defined as platelet distribution width (PDW), and the percentage of the platelets with a size of more than 12 fL was defined as platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR).
Fig 2.
Spearman's rank correlations between platelet indices and four serum fibrosis markers.
The upper triangle represents the P values and the lower triangle represents the rho values. C-IV, collagen IV; LN, laminin; PIIINP, amino-terminal pro-peptide of Type-III pro-collagen; HA, hyaluronic acid; PLT, platelet; PDW, platelet distribution width; MPV, mean platelet volume; P-LCR, platelet large cell ratio.
Fig 3.
Spearman's rank correlations between PLT indices and FibroScan measurements.
The upper triangle represents the P values and the lower triangle represents the rho values. PLT, platelet; PDW, platelet distribution width; MPV, mean platelet volume; P-LCR, platelet large cell ratio.

C-IV, collagen IV; LN, laminin; PIIINP, amino-terminal pro-peptide of Type-III pro-collagen; HA, hyaluronic acid; PLT, platelet; PDW, platelet distribution width; MPV, mean platelet volume; P-LCR, platelet large cell ratio.
