Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is designed for establishment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients cohort to development of markers to predict histologic progression of liver fibrosis.

Detailed Description

  • Acoustic radiation force impulse elastography and transient elastography
  • Liver tissue (frozen tissue, paraffin block)
  • Whole blood, Serum
  • Fat amount ratio CT (Visceral adipose tissue, Subcutaneous adipose tissue amount)
  • Body composition analyzer (InBody scale):Total fat/muscle mass and appendicular skeletal muscle mass
  • Pulmonary function test with post-bronchodilator response and DLCo
  • EKG, EchoCG, Heart CT (Coronary calcium score), and Pusle wave velocity (AI index, arterial stiffness)
  • Brain MRI or CT
  • Upper esophagogastroscopy and colonoscopy
  • Berlin score questionnaire and Polysomnography
