Simple non-invasive fibrosis scoring systems can reliably exclude advanced fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: The ALT/AST ratio, FIB-4 and NAFLD fibrosis scores can reliably exclude advanced fibrosis in a high proportion of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, allowing liver biopsy to be used in a more directed manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocellular cancer: The impact of obesity, type 2 diabetes and a multidisciplinary team

Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of factors predictive of mortality in alcoholic hepatitis and derivation and validation of the Glasgow alcoholic hepatitis score
