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.

Association Between Hepatic Steatosis, Measured by Controlled Attenuation Parameter, and Fibrosis Burden in Chronic Hepatitis B

TL;DR: Severe steatosis, determined by CAP measurement, is associated with severe fibrosis in treatment‐naïve patients with CHB and in patients receiving treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of imaging-based biomarkers in NAFLD: Recent advances in clinical application and future research directions.

TL;DR: The different non-invasive imaging modalities available to quantify liver fat and liver fibrosis and the limitations of current modalities to detect the progressive form for NAFLD, termed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis are discussed.

Controlled Attenuation Parameter And Alcoholic Hepatic Steatosis: Diagnostic Accuracy and Role Of Alcohol Detoxification

TL;DR: It is shown that CAP highly correlates with liver fat, and patients with a CAP value above 290 dB/m were highly likely to have more than 5% fat in their livers, determined by liver biopsy, and three in four (non-obese) patients rapidly decrease in CAP after short-term alcohol withdrawal.

Hepatic steatosis progresses faster in HIV mono-infected than HIV/HCV co-infected patients and is associated with liver fibrosis.

TL;DR: HS progresses faster and is associated with liver fibrosis progression in HIV mono-infection but not in HIV/HCV co- Infection, and it is found that HIV+ patients without HCV co,infection develop fatty liver more frequently than those co-infected with HCV.

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.
