Clinical Trial Summary

Improving the care of patients with liver diseases in primary care and will allow patients with chronic liver disease to benefit from a course appropriate care.


Clinical Trial Description

The prevalence of chronic liver diseases continues to increase on the one hand by the increase in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which affects 25% of the general population as well as the increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in recent years. Screening for liver fibrosis in the general population represents a major public health issue. The FIB-4 score is obtained by a blood test. This score combines age, measurement of ALT/ASAT (alanine aminotransferase / aspartate-aminotransferase) and platelet count. This score is sensitive for detecting advanced fibrosis liver and allows 71% of patients to avoid a liver biopsy. Transient elastometry (Fibroscan®) is another very effective non-invasive assessment in the diagnosis of chronic liver diseases and hepatic fibrosis. It has already been demonstrated by several studies that combining several non-invasive fibrosis tests allows to improve the precision of the result. The investigators hypothesize that offering an additional assessment by Fibroscan for patients screened by a blood test (FIB-4 Score) as possibly having advanced liver fibrosis (Score >2.67) will raise awareness among professional practitioners and the general population with chronic liver diseases and refine screening for chronic liver diseases. ;
