A recent review has concluded that following a Mediterranean diet, and including high-fiber foods and coffee in one's diet can help manage nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Results showed increased liver stiffness measured by vibration-controlled transient elastography was associated with all-cause mortality in patients with NAFLD.
Investigators suggested an ALT/HDL-C ratio of 15.97 as a screening threshold for identifying NAFLD, noting its increased effectiveness compared to ALT, HDL-C, the aspartate aminotransferase to HDL-C ratio, and the gamma-glutamyl transferase to HDL-C ratio.
Noninvasive testing allows for routine risk stratification and long-term monitoring of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, offering a safer, more practical approach than biopsy.
