Establishment of Precise Histological Evaluation Criteria for Reversal of NASH Fibrosis

Collect confirmed cases of NAFLD patients and enroll them in the study. Select patients with NASH and fibrosis stage F2-4 confirmed by liver biopsy, and collect clinical and pathological data for relevant evaluation and definition. Establish a NASH "fibrosis reversal" pathological evaluation system, based on a new reversal standard, establish non-invasive alternative indicators, and observe indicators.

Detailed Description

Confirmed NAFLD patients were enrolled, and those with NASH and fibrosis F2-4 stages confirmed by liver biopsy were selected, and clinical and pathological data were collected for relevant evaluation and definition. A NASH "fibrosis reversal" pathological evaluation system was established based on the new standard, and an alternative non-invasive indicator and observation index were established based on the reversal standard.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Case group
After successful patient screening and enrollment, visits will be conducted every 6 months to collect the following information: Physical examination, accompanying diseases, hematology: blood routine, coagulation function, serology, imaging, body fat measurement, liver puncture information (if applicable). Lifestyle questionnaire: Dietary characteristics, sleep/wake time, daily sitting time, exercise duration, exercise mode. Health education and lifestyle intervention guidance should be provided to patients based on exercise mode. When adjusting lifestyle for at least 1 year and no more than 3 years, a second liver biopsy should be performed to evaluate liver histological changes.
The patients were given health education and lifestyle intervention guidance, followed by lifestyle adjustment for at least 1 year and no more than 3 years, and a second liver biopsy was performed to evaluate liver histological changes.
