- Abstract
It should be noted that cT SB 1 sb shows good diagnostic accuracy for identifying patients with NASH and fibrosis.5 Furthermore, while cT SB 1 sb cannot dissociate the signal from inflammation and fibrosis, it does remain linearly related to both. In our proposed clinical algorithm, we show clearly that elevated cT SB 1 sb values are indicative for fibrosis and/or inflammation and not fibrosis alone. A composite biomarker using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and blood analytes accurately identifies patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and significant fibrosis.
