LaboratoryNonalcoholic steatohepatitis score in Serum or Plasma Calculated by FAST
Definition
Fast is a score used by healthcare professionals to aid in the identification of patients with suspicion of NAFLD as being at risk for active fibrotic NASH (NASH+NAS≥4+F≥2). Fast is computed from liver stiffness by US.transient elastography, liver ultrasound attenuation by transient elastography, and AST blood parameter measurement.
