Noninvasive Serum Fibrosis Markers are Associated with Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Conclusions: : The NFS and FIB-4 score were associated with coronaryatherosclerosis in subjects with NAFLD. Furthermore, scores integrating these noninvasivescores and risk factors for CVD showed good discriminatory power in predicting CACS >100.Therefore, noninvasive serum fibrosis markers may be useful tools for identifying NAFLDsubjects at a high risk for.
