Correction to: Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0198-8, published online 06 June 2018.

In this Letter, affiliation number 1 (Department of Medicine, University of California, San Diego) was originally missing from the HTML version, and the affiliations were missing for author Ming-Yow Hung (associated with: ‘Department of Medicine, University of California’; and the two present addresses: ‘Department of Internal Medicine, Taipei Medical University’, and ‘Division of Cardiology, Shuang Ho Hospital’); the PDF version of the Letter was correct. In addition, the legend to Fig. 4 erroneously referred to panels ah, instead of panels ag. In this legend, the text ‘c, d, Calcification…’ should have been ‘b, c, Calcification…’; ‘e, Survival…’ should have been ‘d, Survival…’; ‘f, Hepatic…’ should have been ‘e, Hepatic…’; ‘g, Livers…’ should have been ‘f, Livers…’; and ‘h, Plasma…’ should have been ‘g, Plasma…’. These errors have been corrected online.
