About this trial

The main objective of this cohort study is to determine genetic, clinical biologic and metabolic factors associated with patient heterogeneity in regards to severity of NAFLD at diagnosis as well as during the clinical course.

* at diagnosis, with the aim to better characterize patients of different severity and improve our understanding of clinical and histological heterogeneity at diagnosis * during the clinical course to better understand and predict disease progression in terms notably of fibrosis progression and progression to cirrhosis

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years

Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of NAFLD

Patients affiliated to French social security

Written informed consent signed by the patient

Disqualifiers

Refusal or inability (lack of capacity) to give informed consent.

Average alcohol ingestion greater than 21/14 units/week (males/females) in the preceding 6 months or history of sustained excessive consumption of alcohol in past 5 years.

History or presence of Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Presence of any other form of chronic liver disease except NAFLD

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Biological specimens

    Other intervention

    Biological specimens are collected to better characterize patients of different severity and improve our understanding of clinical and histological heterogeneity at diagnosis : * added for the research : blood, urine, stools * collected for the research : liver tissue sample, if a liver biopsy is indicated for clinical reasons (standard of care)

  • Additional visit

    Other intervention

    Visits if possible during standard care, otherwise added by the research (If necessary the annual visit will be added by research for the collection of biological samples)

Treatment groups
