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.
However, the AGA recommend screening[4].
Workflows to promote screening may increase treatment[5].
Screening modalities
- Serum tests of liver function
