Background and Aim: Evaluation of liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic<br />

fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients is important for<br />

identifying those who may progress to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular<br />

carcinoma (HCC). Although liver biopsies are the<br />

gold standard for diagnosing NAFLD-associated liver fibrosis,<br />

there is an urgent need for a non-invasive method for estimating<br />

the stage of liver fibrosis in NAFLD patients.The serum<br />

M2BPGi value using a glycan-based immunoassay may provide<br />

an accurate and reliable method for assessing the liver<br />

fibrosis stage in not only chronic hepatitis C patients but also<br />

NAFLD patients; however, there is no data regarding its clinical<br />

usefulness and the association with HCC. The aim of this study<br />

was to assess the diagnostic performances of M2BPGi comparison<br />

with liver stiffness and Fib4-index for the diagnosis of<br />

advanced liver fibrosis and HCC in patients with NAFLD. Methods:<br />

A total of 358 consecutive patients (mean Age [ys]:63,<br />

male [%]:43, BMI [kg/m2]:26.3, and HCC n [%]: 25[7])<br />

with NAFLD who underwent ultrasonography were prospectively<br />

enrolled in this study. M2BPGi (COI), Fib-4 index, and<br />

liver stiffness by FibroScan (kPa) were measured on the same<br />

day. Advanced fibrosis group was determined by cut of level<br />

in each marker from previous reports. (M2BPGi>1.46 COI,<br />

Fib4 >2.67, and FibroScan>9.8kPa) Liver stiffness measurement<br />

(LSM) failure was defined as zero valid shots; unreliable<br />

examination was defined as
