Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nowadays, the morbidity of Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) show ascending trend year by year, which has become an important public health problem in China. As NAFLD can progress to Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and Hepatocarcinoma, the identification and quantitative evaluation of liver steatosis and its dynamic changes are crucial. While liver biopsy is still the gold standard in the diagnosis of NAFLD, its application is limited because of the invasive procedure.The Transient Elastography(TE) combined with the Controlled Attenuation Parameter(CAP) is a new non-invasive diagnostic method for fatty liver and liver fibrosis.

In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of non-invasive assessment for the degree of liver steatosis and staging liver fibrosis, this non-invasive method will be assessed by the golden standard of liver biopsy among 400 NAFLD patients.The treatment protocols will be decided by doctor and patient both (treatment protocols and medicine are not required). Blood routine, blood biochemistry, abdominal ultrasound and Transient Elastography(TE) combined with the Controlled Attenuation Parameter(CAP) are detected during the follow-up.
