However, as acknowledged by Forrest and Gleeson for DF, all these scores draw upon criteria such as clotting time which are prone to significant variations between labs, whilst MELD and GAHS also employ measures of renal function, which in the context of advanced liver disease, are unreliable ...
Stay ahead of NAFLD to prevent liver disease progression High rates of obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome have led to an increase in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), putting these patients at risk for cardiovascular...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disorders1,2. It includes the spectrum of liver disease, ranging from benign fatty liver to hepatocellular carcinoma. It is histologically further categorized into the nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and nonalcoholic...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is often associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. To disentangle etiological relationships between these conditions and identify genetically-determined metabolites involved in NAFLD processes, we mapped1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomic and disease-...

In addition, the demand for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics is expected to remain intact due to the increasing focus on liver disease treatment and diagnosis during the post-pandemic period, thereby contributing to the growth of the market over the forecast period. The major factors ...
This new test is also quantitative instead of semi-quantitative, which is more useful for the surveillance of patients at risk for metabolic liver disease and liver cancer in certain populations. Lastly, the new NASH-FibroTest is more convenient because the panel no longer requires BMI.Nikola ...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the pediatric population, present in 3–12 % of children from industrialized nations. In children, NAFLD is more common in boys than girls. The prevalence of NAFLD increases with age and with obesity...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality1. The presence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an active form of NAFLD, and liver fibrosis stage 2 or higher is linked to an increased incidence of liver-related adverse clinical outco...
The interplay between western diet and gut microbiota drives the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. However, the specific microbial and metabolic mediators contributing to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis remain to be identified. Here, a chol...
