NAFLD and how to know if resolved

Posted by thereseliz @thereseliz, Sep 26 10:21am

New to NAFLD. How to diagnose and what to check to find out if in remission. I had a CT scan that showed this. Seeing GI in Nov.

I had a liver biopsy and was diagnosed with NAGLD. A few years later I had a liver biopsy that showed no NAFLD.

Thank you! Congratulations!
So, if a Ct Scan show “FLD” and I don’t drink and only did in college ( I am 73) the only way to get confirmation of level is to biopsy?

Do the liver blood tests also help to diagnose NAFLD?

Good questions.
There may be other ways to find out if you still have NAFLD. I know for me liver blood tests and my CT didn’t show that my NAFLD was gone. I needed the liver biopsy for other reasons too so that was the next step.
