Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic disease associated with metabolic syndrome. NAFLD covers a spectrum of liver disease from steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. NASH is a disease evolving under the influence of various stimuli still poorly understood. In this paper we present new clinical decision support system (CDSS) for the diagnosis of NASH and the comparison of this system with machine learning algorithms.
