The number of Australians with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) at risk of advanced fibrosis has outstripped the capacity of specialist liver clinics to manage them, a conference has been told.
Findings presented at the Gastroenterological Society of Australia’s virtual conference, Australian Gastroenterology Week, demonstrate the importance of GPs in caring for lower-risk patients, researchers say.
