Publication at First Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents one of the most common chronic liver diseases affecting more than 25% of the population. The majority of patients have simple steatosis, but some develop liver cirrhosis with its complications.

In such a prevalent condition there is a need for non-invasive diagnostic methods allowing stratification of patients without liver biopsy. This summary lists the current options of non-invasive diagnostics of NAFLD.
