Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of severe liver disease in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with normal aminotransferase levels: a role for insulin resistance and diabetes.

TL;DR: Normal ALT is not a valuable criterion to exclude patients from liver biopsy, and Alterations in glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in subjects with normal ALT should also be considered in the selection of NAFLD cases for histological assessment of disease severity and progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe Liver Fibrosis or Cirrhosis: Accuracy of US for Detection—Analysis of 300 Cases

TL;DR: US determination of liver surface nodularity is an accurate method for identifying the subset of asymptomatic patients with severe liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, which indicates a worse prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of genetic hemochromatosis in a cohort of Italian patients with diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: The prevalence of genetic hemochromatosis in patients with diabetes from northern Italy and in an age- and sex-matched control group was studied and the accuracy of serum ferritin levels and transferrin saturation in estimating the prevalence of hemochROMatosis was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accuracy of a predictive model for severe hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis C.

TL;DR: The model can correctly identify 67% of patients with a high (>75%) or low (<10%) probability of cirrhosis, leaving only 33% of the patients still requiring liver biopsy.
