(A) A schematic diagram of extracellular ADP metabolism shows the 3 enzymatic steps measured in this study. (B) The serum activity of ADA2 increases with the stage of liver fibrosis in NAFLD (***P < .001). (C) An immunohistochemistry of ADA2 in a liver biopsy with stage 4 fibrosis. Scale bar: 50 μm. (D) Receiver operating curve analysis comparing the predictive value of serum ADA2 activity (black) for liver fibrosis with established fibrosis indices: FIB4 (blue), NFS (red), and APRI (green). APRI, AST to Platelet Ratio Index; AUROC, area under the receiver operating curve; ENTPD, ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase; FIB4, Fibrosis-4; NFS, NAFLD Fibrosis Score; 5′-NT, 5’-nucleotidase.
