Summary
The European NAFLD Registry is a prospectively recruited, observational study supporting the study of the clinical phenotype, natural history, disease outcomes and pathophysiology of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis. The ultimate goals are to better understand the drivers of interpatient variation in disease pathophysiology and severity and to utilise this information to develop and validate biomarkers that, singly or in combination, enable detection and monitoring of disease progression and/or from NAFL through NASH to fibrosis and cirrhosis.
Description
The European NAFLD Registry is a major international collaboration between clinical academics at leading universities across Europe, initially established with funding from the European Association for the Study of the Liver and through the EU FP7, H2020 and IMI2 schemes to the projects FLIP (Fatty Liver Inhibition of Progression), EPoS (Elucidating Pathways of Steatohepatitis) and LITMUS (Liver Investigation: Testing marker Utility in Steatohepatitis).
The Registry is a non-interventional, observational study collecting cross-sectional and longitudinal clinical data (including clinical biochemistry/haematology, liver histology, comorbidities, prescribed medication and imaging data) and linked biological samples (Blood [Serum, Plasma], Liver Tissue, Urine, Stool) from prospectively recruited patients with NAFLD. Its purpose is to support clinical and translational research into disease pathophysiology (through development of comprehensive genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, proteomic and metagenomic datasets) and biomarker development/validation. It supports collaborative discovery science and serves as the basis for a broad international project to discover and validate biomarkers for NAFLD and associated medical conditions (LITMUS). Out-with the current study, following separate ethical approval and after separate consent, patients who have agreed to join the European NAFLD Registry may also agree to participate in a number of nested sub-studies with bi-directional sharing of data. These include the LITMUS Imaging Study, which will acquire additional imaging data across a range of modalities including, amongst others, MR-PDFF and MR-Elastography. The Registry population comprises adult patients (aged 18 years) with risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) prospectively recruited primarily in hepatology and diabetology clinics and/or bariatric surgery units at centres across Europe. After receiving informed consent, patients will be assigned a unique study identifier (which will be used to identify all data and samples collected) which will allow all information to be recorded in a link-anonymised form.
