Clinical relevance of liver histopathology and different histological classifications of NASH in adults

TL;DR: An integrated diagnostic approach which utilizes both non-invasive tools and liver biopsy in those individual patients with suspected NAFLD is proposed, which focuses on the most burning topics to be addressed over the next five years.

Reproducibility of ultrasound attenuation imaging for the noninvasive evaluation of hepatic steatosis

TL;DR: ATI showed high intra- and inter-observer reproducibility in the assessment of hepatic steatosis, and showed a significant correlation with the visual grade of hepatosis for both reviewers.

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.
