23294 NASH FibroSURE (550140)

NASH FibroSURE (550140)
Test Code: NASHSO
Synonyms/Keywords

Fatty Liver Disease, NAFLD, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Noninvasive Liver Biopsy, Steatohepatitis

Test Components
a2-macroglobulin, haptoglobin, apolipoprotein A1, bilirubin, y-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting glucose​
Useful For

This test is a noninvasive assessment of liver status in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). 

NASH FibroSure® is recommended for patients with suspected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It is not recommended for patient with other liver diseases. It is also not recommended in patients with Gilbert disease, acute hemolysis, acute hepatitis, acute inflammation of the liver, autoimmune hepatitis, extrahepatic cholestasis, transplant patients, and/or renal insufficiency patients. Any of these clinical situations may lead to inaccurate quantitative predictions of fibrosis.​
Specimen Requirements
Fasting Required Specimen Type Preferred Container/Tube Acceptable Container/Tube Specimen Volume Specimen Minimum Volume
(allows for 1 repeat)		 Pediatric Minimum Volume
(no repeat)
Minimum of 8 hours​ Serum​ ​Red Top Tube (RTT) ​Serum Separator Tube (SST)
3.5 mL
 
​2 mL		 ​
Collection Processing Instructions

Patient should be fasting for at least eight hours. 

The patient's age, gender, height, and weight at the time of collection must be submitted.

Separate serum from cells within two hours of collection. Specimen can be stored refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C for 72 hours and frozen at -70°C for seven days.  Frozen samples are stable for one freeze/thaw cycle.   ​

LabCorp of America​ ​Testing schedule may vary.  3-6 days​ Quantitative results of 10 biochemicals in combination with age, gender, height, and weight are analyzed using a computational algorithm to provide a quantitative surrogate marker (0.0-1.0) of liver fibrosis (Metavir F0-F4), hepatic steatosis (0.0-1.0, S0-S3), and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (0.0-0.75, N0-N2). The absence of steatosis (S<0.38) precludes the diagnosis of NASH.
