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.

Can Nonfibrotic Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Be Effectively Identified by Supersonic Shear Imaging

TL;DR: The results indicate that SSI can effectively identify nonfibrotic NASH in rabbits based on the difference in liver elasticity and the difference is related to the various pathologic changes, including fibrosis, inflammation, steatosis, and ballooning degeneration.

Associations between intake of starchy and non-starchy vegetables and risk of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis

TL;DR: Findings support the recommendation to limit starchy vegetable intake and increase non-starchy vegetables intake in CLD prevention, and provide evidence for the potential health benefit from dietary substitution of non-Starchy vegetables for starchy vegetables.

Advances in Imaging of Diffuse Parenchymal Liver Disease.

TL;DR: The current status of imaging methods for diffuse parenchymal liver diseases assessment including their diagnostic accuracy, advantages and disadvantages, and comparison between different techniques are focused on.

Non-invasive diagnosis and follow-up of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: The recommendations from the French Association for the Study of the Liver (AFEF) aim at providing guidance on the following questions: how to diagnose NAFLD; how non-invasive tests should be used to assess NN severity; how to follow patients with NN; when to perform liver biopsy; and how to decide referral to the liver specialist as mentioned in this paper.

How Good Are Controlled Attenuation Parameter Scores from Fibroscan to Assess Steatosis, NASH, and Fibrosis?

TL;DR: Transient elastography is a good modality to accurately diagnose steatosis and NASH and can also differentiate advanced liver fibrosis from early stages.

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.

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.

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.
