Full Study Name

Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of the M30 Apoptosense, M65 and M65 EpiDeath ELISA Assay Results to Stratify Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) From Simple Steatosis in a Cohort of Patients Suspected of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) (IRB no. PRO00056528)

Summary

This study focuses on individuals who have may have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The purpose of the study is to evaluate blood samples and tissue to discover and develop laboratory tests that can detect liver disease, as well as predict and monitor response to treatment. The study also aims to develop new blood tests for liver disease that are easily accessible to doctors and their patients. Researchers will collect medical information about participants and their specific type of liver disease to interpret results of the new blood tests.
