Diagnostic accuracy of FibroScan-AST score to identify non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with significant activity and fibrosis in Japanese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Comparison between M and XL probes

摘要

Aim Recently, FibroScan-AST (FAST) score was reported to be effective for identifying non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with significant activity and fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of this study was to confirm the diagnostic accuracy of FAST score of Japanese patients and compare the cut-off values and diagnostic accuracy between the FibroScan M and XL probes.
