The ELF Test* is a non-invasive blood test that measures three direct markers of fibrosis: hyaluronic acid (HA), procollagen III amino-terminal peptide (PIIINP), and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1). The ELF Test, in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings, can be used to assess the risk of progression to cirrhosis and liver-related clinical events (LREs) in patients with chronic liver disease.
- Access non-invasive testing with a simple blood test available to all healthcare practitioners and patients, including those with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.
- Improve patient care by identifying non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients and stratifying those at risk of progressing to cirrhosis and LREs.
- Enhance prognostic patient management with a test that has been shown to outperform biopsy for the risk assessment of progression to cirrhosis and LREs.
*The ELF™ Test kit is under development in the U.S. Product availability varies by country.The ELF Testing Service is available from Siemens Healthcare Laboratory, a CLIA-certified laboratory located in Berkeley, CA.
Clinical Chemistry Video of the Year: Addressing the rising prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
The Scientists' Choice Award for Clinical Chemistry Video of the Year was awarded to Dr. Zobair M. Younossi, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia. The winning video, first published on The Scientists' Channel discusses the epidemiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and addresses why there is a global need for more awareness and why the current approach to clinical care needs to change.
