Other test results may indicate impaired hepatic function, such as measurements of albumin, bilirubin, prothrombin time, and blood urea nitrogen. Alterations are also common in electrolytes, blood glucose, magnesium, phosphate, uric acid, and acid-base balance. Disturbances in hematologic function are...
Methods:The clinical performance of multiple blood-based tests was assessed for their ability to detect at-risk NASH using the RESOLVE-IT diag cohort, a large population of patients with metabolic risk who were screened for potential inclusion in the RESOLVE-IT phase 3 trial. Results:The study ...

The diagnostic performance of five blood-based panels was evaluated in an observational (NASH CRN DB2) cohort (n = 1,073) with full spectrum of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The panels were intended to diagnose at-risk NASH (NIS4), presence of NASH (OWLiver) or ...
After standing at room temperature for 1 h, the blood samples were centrifuged at 4 °C and 3 000 rpm/min for 15 min, and the serum was collected. The liver homogenate was prepared according to the instructions of the quantitative protein assay kit and its protein concentration was determined...
Anthropometric and biochemical parameters for both groups are presented in the comparative form inTable 1. In NAFLD patients, results of blood biochemistry tests were significantly different from those in controls, and complied with the natural history and specific biochemical profile of this liver disea...
(NASH) diagnosis requires an invasive liver biopsy which can lead to procedural complications. Now, researchers at Osaka University working with international collaborators have identified a noninvasive biomarker that can identify patients at risk of NAFLD complications using a simple blood test. ...

Most clinical outcome observation indicators were liver enzymes, blood lipids, or B-ultrasound results, with only two trials reporting liver biopsy results [20, 122]. Furthermore, most investigations lasted less than 6 months, with only two studies having a 3-month follow-up [86, 111]. It ...
