Blood Test Predicts Likelihood that Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Will Progress to Liver Cancer
A bioinformatics approach was used to transform a 133-gene panel, which could predict the likelihood of a patient with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progressing to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), into an easily performed four-protein blood test. More...23 Jun 2022



Blood Test Can Determine Liver Disease Progression
Researchers have identified the role of a specific subtype of macrophages (white blood cells) in progressive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that have a protective function against fibrosis and liver cirrhosis, while also being useful as biomarkers of liver disease progression as they can be measured by a blood test.
