Description
Mahachai and co-authors build a bedside score for fatty liver disease in people with prediabetes. Fatty liver tied to metabolic dysfunction often goes undetected until late, and ultrasound-based elastography machines are scarce in many clinics. In a cross-sectional study of 375 Thai adults with prediabetes, all scanned for liver fat and stiffness, about thirty-six percent meet the disease definition.
The best score combines five routine items: fasting glucose, the HbA1c level, sex-specific HDL cholesterol cutoffs, a liver enzyme, and body mass index. It separates cases from non-cases with good accuracy, and at the chosen cutoff it catches about seven in ten cases. The authors offer it as a cheap triage tool for deciding who needs the scanner.
