The use of noninvasive tools in NAFLD/NASH has become more prevalent over the last several years, with increased availability of imaging and serum-based tools. A forum of experts convened to discuss optimal use of these tools in NAFLD/NASH using a series of clinical assertion statements. These statements covered screening patients with diabetes, applicability of liver enzymes in determining fibrosis stage, use of transient elastography and blood-based tools, such as the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis test, and potential genetic testing. Here, Drs Jacobson and Younossi summarize the research and discussion points from the forum.
