Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To investigate different markers and scores for the detection of NAFLD and NASH - Steatosis [controlled attenuation parameter (CAP)], fibrosis [elasticity (E)] (single measurement with the FibroScan) - AST to ALT ratio (AAR) (single blood sample) - BARD score (calculated) - Fatty liver index (FLI) (calculated) - NAFDL fibrosis score (NFS) (calculated)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes: - Laboratory, genomic, metabolomic and proteomic markers (single blood sample) - RNA, micro-RNA, other epigenetic factors (single blood sample)
