Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for NAFLD in general population. However, screening is recommended in high-risk population groups(obesity, insulin resistance and patients with metabolic syndrome) as more than 50 million Americans have been estimated to have metabolic syndrome and about 80% of them have NAFD.
Screening
- There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for NAFLD in general population.[1][2][3]
- However, American Gastroenterological Association Technical Review recommends screening for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in population at high risk such as obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome.
- Screening is however complicated by the lack of accurate, noninvasive diagnostic tools for NAFLD and the lack of clear treatment that can be proposed to the patient.
Screening modalities
- Serum tests of liver function
