Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is currently reliably and increasingly being diagnosed and classified by non-invasive methods in comparison with standard invasive methods. Various permutations and combinations has been studied and explored with different clinical sign and symptoms with or without lab profiles to closely approach the precise diagnosis.
