Early Detection of Advanced Fatty Liver Disease
Early Detection of Advanced Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the
 western world, affecting one in every three subjects.

 The investigators hypothesize that a patient population without known liver disease has a
 certain percentage of patients with liver fibrosis who are undiagnosed and not monitored.
The investigators will run an algorithm for the non-invasive diagnosis of advanced fibrosis
 in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease on a participants without known liver disease.

 Nafld Score and Elastography are now being used to predict the severity of liver fibrosis and
 deciding whether the patient is going to a biopsy, clinical follow-up or further
 investigation of liver cirrhosis and complications.

 The detection of participants with Nafld Score more than 0.675 (advanced fibrosis) will
 enroll them to an elastography test. Participants with advanced fibrosis according to
 elastography will be introduced to follow-up and treatment that should delay or prevent
 progression of the disease to more advanced conditions like: cirrhosis, portal hypertension,
 esophageal varicose veins and hepatocellular carcinoma.

 If the investigators find that the results of the study are consistent with their hypothesis,
 this will lead to applying the flowchart to a larger sample of population in order to use it
 as a future survey.

 Moreover, the investigators will check whether there is a correlation between Nafld Score and
 elastography in participants without know liver disease with Nafld Score more than 0.675.
