TLDR
In patients with NAFLD, CAP values should always be taken into account in order to avoid overestimations of liver fibrosis assessed by transient elastography.

Non-invasive assessment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: ultrasound and transient elastography.

TL;DR: The rational basis for the use of ultrasound and transient elastography in patients with NAFLD is reviewed and an overview of newer sonographic applications that might be used in clinical practice in the near future in this field is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controversies and Opportunities in the Use of Inflammatory Markers for Diagnosis or Risk Prediction in Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the utility of such novel inflammatory markers for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) diagnosis, patient stratification and risk prediction, including cytokines, chemokines or shed receptors from immune cells, circulating exosomes related to inflammation, and changing proportions of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subtypes.

How histopathologic changes in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease influence in vivo liver stiffness

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of seven distinct histopathologic features on LS, including septal infiltration, bridging fibrosis, pericellular fibrosis and hepatocellular ballooning, portal inflammation, lobular inflammation, and steatosis was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using controlled attenuation parameter combined with ultrasound to survey non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in hemodialysis patients: A prospective cohort study

TL;DR: The number of diagnoses of NAFLD made by using CAP combined with ultrasound was more than 2 times the number made with ultrasound alone in the hemodialysis patients.

Global epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—Meta‐analytic assessment of prevalence, incidence, and outcomes

TL;DR: As the global epidemic of obesity fuels metabolic conditions, the clinical and economic burden of NAFLD will become enormous, and random‐effects models were used to provide point estimates of prevalence, incidence, mortality and incidence rate ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI

EASL-EASD-EASO Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: The final purpose is to improve patient care and awareness of the importance of NAFLD, and to assist stakeholders in the decision-making process by providing evidence-based data, which also takes into consideration the burden of clinical management for the healthcare system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NAFLD fibrosis score: A noninvasive system that identifies liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD

TL;DR: A simple scoring system accurately separates patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with and without advanced fibrosis, rendering liver biopsy for identification ofAdvanced fibrosis unnecessary in a substantial proportion of patients.
