A global research priority agenda to advance public health responses to fatty liver disease.
A newly published paper from the Journal of Hepatology, co-authored by our very own Prof. Suzanne Norris.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH) is rarely diagnosed in primary care or diabetology clinics, but new guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) could help change that. NICE found that the non-invasive technology from Echosens is a safe and effective way to improve patient outcomes and create a more efficient system for diagnosing liver disease in the early stages.
“With the incidence of liver disease rising at staggering rates, more needs to be done to catch and diagnose it early. When you look at the cost burden of liver disease and the high death rate, bringing this 10-minute scan to primary care visits is something that should be adopted on a much larger scale.” - Dominique Legros, Echosens Group CEO

Interesting research by BioMed Central, where they concluded that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in haemochromoatosis patients with iron overload and HFE p.C282Y/p.C282Y, is associated with higher ferritin and greater Type 2 diabetes prevalence.
