A Retrospective Study On Liver Function Tests & Urine Protein in Presumptive Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Cases Performed in A Local Private Laboratory Service

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) could be diagnosed either by imaging or histology, and laboratory parameters from Renal Function Test (RFT) such as Aspartate-aminotransferase (AST), Alanine-aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), as well as Urine Protein (UP). In this stud...
