Overview
To evaluate the correlation between LivQ-box® parameters carried by iLivTouch and liver inflammation in patients with NAFLD, as well as the diagnostic value of liver inflammation of different severity levels.
Description
This study is a multi-center study that retrospectively analyzed and prospectively included 240 NAFLD patients in total who met the inclusion criteria. The laboratory, iLivTouch, and liver biopsy results were collected to evaluate the correlation between LivQ-box® parameters carried by iLivTouch and liver inflammation in patients with NAFLD, as well as the diagnostic value of liver inflammation of different severity levels. In the end, cut-off values for different stages of inflammation were obtained.
