There is a critical need for the development of biochemical markers that would predict the risk of expression of clinical phenotypes and prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Furthermore, the prognosis, progression and mortality of these diseases depend in part on age. [umcg.nl]

In a recent publication in Liver International (Liver Int. 2017 Mar;37(3):328–336), the use of the methacetin breath test (MBT) was shown as a valid, sensitive biomarker for follow up of liver function and determining prognosis of patients with acute [liverline.com]

Patients were separated into 2 categories by etiology of liver disease: (1) genetic or metabolic liver disease (G/M) and (2) nongenetic or metabolic liver disease (non-G/M), which included all other remaining etiologies combined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In a meta-study of 1375 patients with various degrees of liver disease and etiologies, MBT well correlated with the degree of severity of liver disease. [liverline.com]

Introduction of new therapies for HCV infection make NAFLD the main etiology for liver transplantation [ 10 ]. [omicsonline.org]

[…] disease (NAFLD) has been rising in tandem with the rise in obesity ever since the term nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, a subtype of NAFLD) was coined by Ludwig in 1980. 1 Yet, despite an explosion of research on NAFLD and gains in understanding its epidemiology [mdedge.com]
