Description
NASH-2 FibroTest is a non-invasive biochemical test designed to assess the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Unlike the conventional FibroTest, NASH-2 FibroTest is specifically designed to assess fibrosis associated with metabolic disorders. It is based on a combination of biochemical parameters, together with the patient's age and sex. The result is reported as a numerical index that reflects the stage of liver fibrosis.
When and who needs the test?
- For patients with suspected NAFLD (especially accompanied by obesity, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes).
- For individuals with elevated liver enzymes of unknown etiology.
- For non-invasive monitoring of fibrosis, inflammatory activity, and steatosis over time.
- As an alternative to liver biopsy in patients for whom it is contraindicated.
- To evaluate treatment effectiveness, particularly pharmacological therapy for steatohepatitis.
Biological material
- Venous blood
Preparing for a blood test
In order to exclude factors that may affect the test results, we recommend to follow the preparation rules:
- an important condition for laboratory tests is to take blood on an empty stomach;
- 6-12 hours before the test, you should avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, and limit physical activity. Drinking...
