Abstract

Author’s conclusions: the current predictive scales for liver fibrosis lack diagnostic precision, therefore new non-invasive diagnostic tools are needed to stage fibrosis.

Reviewers’ commentary: currently available noninvasive scales for detecting the presence of liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease do not have sufficient diagnostic accuracy and precision, showing no advantage over liver biopsy. Better non-invasive tools are needed for the classification and staging of patients with liver non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
