A 2-step pathway in assessing liver fibrosis among patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatosis liver disease (MASLD) in a University Primary Care setting.
Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi MARA (Kampus Sg. Buloh).
Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatosis liver disease (MASLD) is highly prevalent in primary care and it can progress to advanced fibrosis. FIB-4 is a recommended screening tool among patients with MASLD, before referral for liver stiffness measurement (LSM) to detect advanced fibrosis. However, implementation of this 2-step pathway is not well established in the Malaysian primary care setting.
