Excerpt

Despite being the most accurate method and considered the gold standard for the assessment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), liver biopsy is not without flaws. Due to the heterogeneity of fatty deposition in the liver, variability or sampling error can occur in up to 30% of cases, with no agreement between different sites submitted to biopsy in the same individuals, generating difficulties in the management of this disease, especially the risk of underestimating its real severity [1]. …
