Artificial Intelligence in NAFLD: Will Liver Biopsy Still Be Necessary in the Future?
As the advanced form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) will significantly increase the risks of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC. However, there is no non-invasive method to distinguish NASH from NAFLD so far. Additionally, liver biopsy remains the go...

| description | As the advanced form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) will significantly increase the risks of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC. However, there is no non-invasive method to distinguish NASH from NAFLD so far. Additionally, liver biopsy remains the gold standard to diagnose NASH, which is not appropriate for routine screening. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) is under rapid development in many aspects of medicine. Additionally, the application of AI in clinical information may have the potential to diagnose NASH non-invasively. This review summarizes the latest research using AI, specifically machine learning, to facilitate the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of NAFLD. Additionally, according to our prior results, this work proposes future development in this area. |
