Manuscript Title: "Association of Ultrasound Signs of Sarcopenia with Serum Ferritin Levels
and Hepatic Indices like NFS and FIB-4 in NAFLD Patients"
Dear Editors and Authors,
I have thoroughly reviewed the revised version of the manuscript titled "Association of
Ultrasound Signs of Sarcopenia with Serum Ferritin Levels and Hepatic Indices like NFS and
FIB-4 in NAFLD Patients". The authors have addressed the reviewers’ comments diligently and
significantly improved the quality of the paper.
The study explores the association between ultrasound-diagnosed sarcopenia, serum ferritin
levels, and non-invasive hepatic indices (NFS, FIB-4) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD). The authors have presented a compelling and methodologically sound study
that contributes valuable evidence to the NAFLD field. The revisions have addressed previous
concerns effectively. I recommend acceptance for publication in BMC Gastroenterology.
This work aligns well with the journal’s focus and will interest a broad audience.
