We are thrilled to post this very special interview with the creator of the world's most utilized, non-invasive liver disease assessment tool, FIB-4, Dr. Richard Sterling.
Is the test perfect? No. Will it identify patients who are at risk of having fibrosis, developing more serious liver disease and those who require further assessment? Yes.
Dr. Manal Abdelmalek, Hepatologist, Professor of Medicine at Duke University shares her expert opinion about what patients should ask their Primary Care Physician to ensure that their liver disease risks are assessed and that they are referred to a specialist for a more detailed evaluation if warranted.
Super excited to share this brand new data from our social media study on NAFLD and NASH! Will be presented at the upcoming CLM2021 conference and was presented at the 4th Annual NASH Summit Oral Poster Session.
What we found was pretty incredible!
