Prediction of Severity of Liver Disease by a 13C Octanoate Breath Test (OBT)
Metabolic SyndromeNonalcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseThe purpose of the study is to demonstrate that the ¹³C-Octanoate Breath Test (OBT) can be used as an aid, in conjunction with other clinical information and medical history, for evaluating disease severity and detecting NASH with a high probability.
Screening of Liver Fibrosis in Adults Without Known Liver Disease
Liver FibrosisSIRIUS is the "serious" response to the prevalence of liver cirrhosis in Slovakia. We plan to screen adult Slovaks without acute or life-threatening comorbidity and without known liver disease (except from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) for liver fibrosis by transient elastography (in community) or FIB-4 score (in outpatient clinics).

CKDNAFLDThe goal of this observational study is to detect the prevalence of NAFLD in CKD patients The main question[s] it aims to answer are: [question 1] prevalence of NAFLD in CKD patients. [question 2] the relationship between NAFLD and CKD.
Psoriasis and Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis: Is There a Shared Inflammatory Network ?
NashThe study is to assess frequency of NASH in Psoriatic patient and to measure the level of proinflammatory cytokines including TNFα, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-17 and anti-inflammatory cytokines including IL10, IL35 by ELISA.
The Franciscus Obesity NASH Study
NAFLDNASH - Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis2 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) changes in terms of steatosis and elasticity in patients with morbid obesity 1, 3 and 5 years after bariatric surgery. In addition, genomics, microbiome and metabolomics analyses will be carried out.
Assocaiton Between Uric Acid Trajecteries and Remission of NAFLD in NAFLD Individuals
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseHyperuricemiaUric acid is the end product of dietary or endogenous purines degradation, and hyperuricemia is one of the most common metabolic disorders. A growing body of evidence, comprising a great deal of cross-sectional studies and several prospective ones, also indicates that hyperuricemia is associated with increased prevalence, incidence, and disease severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Capitalizing on a cohort study in China, the investigators are aimed to assess the associations of SUA trajecteries with remission of NAFLD in NAFLD individuals and examined whether the association differs across subpopulations.
Increased Risk of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Low Birth Weight Individuals
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseLow Birth WeightThe investigators recently demonstrated a increase in liver fat in early middle-aged LBW compared to normal birth weight (NBW) men, and 20% of the LBW - but none of the normal birth weight (NBW) - men had previously unknown non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here the investigators will further examine the Increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in low birth weight individuals by performing a validation study.
Quantitative Ultrasound With Liver Incytes for Evaluation of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
NAFLDNASH - Nonalcoholic SteatohepatitisThe purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the utility of Liver Incytes in assessing NAFLD with or without advanced fibrosis in patients seen in liver clinics for suspected NAFLD diagnosis.
