TLDR
Based on data from a phase 2 randomized controlled trial of adults with NASH, PDFF estimated by MRI scanners of different field strength and at different sites, accurately classifies grades and changes in hepatic steatosis when histologic analysis of biopsies is used as a reference.

The Accuracy and Clinical Relevance of the Multi-echo Dixon Technique for Evaluating Changes to Hepatic Steatosis in Patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Treated with Formulated Food

TL;DR: ME-Dixon has a good consistency and a correlation with MRS in quantifying the liverfat content and monitoring the treatment effect, which may be used as an accurate indicator for clinical monitoring of changes in the liver fat content.

Prévalence et facteurs de risque de stéatose hépatique chez les adultes tunisiens atteints de syndrome d’apnées hypopnées obstructives du sommeil

TL;DR: La steatose hepatique est une comorbidite frequente au cours du SAHOS, d’autant plus qu’ils presentent un âge jeune, une obesite, un IDO eleve et l’elevation des ALAT, est preconisee.

Relationship of circulating total bilirubin, UDP-glucuronosyltransferases 1A1 and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the correlation of circulating total bilirubin (TB) and UGT1A1 with NAFLD in Chinese Han population and found that the circulating TB levels were significantly higher in patients with moderate and severe steatosis.
