Dive deep into the pathophysiology of liver fibrosis, explore the potential of biomarkers, and understand diagnostic tools like the AST-to-ALT ratio, FibroTest, APRI, FIB-4, and the ELF Score.
Discover how key biomarkers like Fatty Liver Index and SteatoTest are transforming NAFLD diagnosis and management. Delve into the disease's pathophysiology, the impact of obesity and insulin resistance, and the advancements in specialized liver tests.
Explore the complexities of NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease), now also known as MAFLD, and its evolving terminology, diagnostic challenges, and association with cardio-metabolic syndrome. Learn about its progressive nature, the gold standard for diagnosis, and the emerging role of biomarkers. A must-read for healthcare professionals aiming for early diagnosis and effective management.
Unveiling the high prevalence of NAFLD and advanced fibrosis in type 2 diabetes patients - a deep-dive into two groundbreaking studies from the US and France. Explore the findings and their implications for future diabetes care.
On International NASH Day 2023, join Michael Betel of the Fatty Liver Alliance as he addresses NAFLD and NASH, their prevalence and impact. Discover solutions including medical education, patient awareness, and advocacy. Learn about the Alliance's future goals.
Explore the challenges and opportunities in the quest for a non-invasive diagnosis tool of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with insights from Dr Giada Sebastiani, associate professor of medicine at McGill University Health Center in Canada.
Dr. Kwanten (Belgium) discusses the pathophysiological role of intrahepatic vasculature in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). He mentions that portal hypertension is present in patients with NAFLD and can be evident in the early stages which is caused by intrahepatic vascular alterations. Further, he explores the different types of drugs that will help change the course of the disease.
Dr. Laurent Castera (France) discusses how healthcare professionals can integrate non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) assessment and management into the care of diabetic patients in order to provide a holistic approach for the patient in order for improved patient outcomes.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are a leading cause of liver diseases worldwide, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this review on non-invasive evaluation, Prof. Jérôme Boursier, France, presents a meta analysis focusing on the identification of patients with high risk profile and in need of specific management. Dr. Boursier reviews the two major families of non-invasive tests and discusses the sequential use of tests recommended in the EASL guidelines 2021.
Liver fibrosis is the major driver in liver disease progression. Prof. Romero-Gómez, Spain, reviews on NoninvasiveTests - NITs for screening, referral, and diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Dr. Jean-François Dufour (Switzerland) reviews the association between cancers and NASH, where he highlights the causes of death in NAFLD patients, in which cardiovascular diseases and non-liver cancer with 38.3% and 18.7% are identified as some of the major causes.
