3 Diagnostic approaches to chronic liver disease Biopsy Imaging Biomarkers Biopsy Elastography HVPG

4 Defnitions of biomarkers

5

6 Use of biomarkers in Hepatology Yesterday: Grade and stage the damage in hepatitis C and B to identify candidates to treatment (Peg+Riba DAA first wave ) Today: Identify patients with NASH (ASH?) at higher risk of progression Noninvasive diagnosis of portal hypertension Stratification of the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with cirrhosis

7 What have we learned from HepC?

8 Progression of chronic liver diseases F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 No fibrosis Fibrosis without septa Few septa Numerous Septa W/O cirrhosis Numerous Septa WITH CIRRHOSIS SIGNIFICANT FIBROSIS CIRRHOSIS Deranged microvascular anatomy Portal hypertension Cancer

9 Gressner et al., World J Gastroenterol 2009; 28:2433

10 Available serum markers of fibrosis Indirect markers Direct markers Combination markers

11 EASL CPG, 2015

12 EASL CPG, 2015

13 Biomarkers vs. FibroScan Biomarkers FibroScan Advantages: Good reproducibility High applicability Low cost (non-patented) Disadvantages: Liver non-specific More limited performance for cirrhosis Cost (patented) Advantages: Measures a property of liver High performance in cirrhosis User-friendly Disadvantages: Low applicability (80%) False positive (fat, inflammation) Requires a dedicated device

14 Poor classification of intermediate stages by non-invasive tests Cales et al., Liver Int 2008;28:1352

15 SAFE biopsy for significant fibrosis (> F2) Castera et al., J Hepatol 2010;52:191

16 Patient outcome as a reference standard Vergniol et al., Gastroenterology 2011;140:1970

17 The need for a dynamic marker to assess inflammation and fibrosis in clinical practice 1. Not for cross-sectional staging or diagnosis 2. Sensitive to rapid changes inactivity and/or fibrogenesis and/or fibrolysis 3. Possibly related to ECM turnover 4. Specific for a given chronic liver disease

18 The current problem: NAFLD

19 Challenges in the management of NASH Understand the pathogenesis guided approach Stratify the patients at risk of different metabolic complications Identify those who are likely to progress to cirrhosis Set up meaningful clinical trials

20 Rinella, JAMA 2015

21 Global prevalence of NAFLD Younossi & Henry Gastroenterology 2016

22 Ultrasound and NAFLD Sensitivity: US = 100% CT = 93% but when fat is > 33% DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE NAFLD FROM NASH Saadeh et al., Gastroenterology 2002; 123:745

23 NAFLD in patients with normal ALT Mofrad et al., Hepatology 2003;37:1286

24 Analysis of large series or of the general population: the Fatty Liver Index An algorithm based on: BMI Waist circumference Triglycerides GGT FLI>60: likelihood>78% presence FL FLI<20: likelihood>91%absence of FL Bedogni et al., BMC Gastroenterology 2006; 6:33

35 Chemokines and NASH progression Marra & Tacke, Gastroenterology 2014

36 Adipokine groups potentially involved in fibrosis Acute phase proteins CRP, serum amyloid A, PAI-1, haptoglobin Cytokines TNF-, IL-6, IL- 10, IL-R1a, TGF ), Chemokines MIP-2, CCL2, CCL5, CXCL8, CXCL10 Proinflammatory factors leptin, resistin, activin,osteopontin, chemerin, WNT5A Anti-inflammatory factors adiponectin, SRFP5, omentin, ghrelin, lipocalin-2 DAMPS tenascin C, calprotectin, HSP- 72, HMGB1
