 Non-invasive test that provides a simple, unitless numeric score that is generated via an algorithm for use in advanced liver fibrosis. It is indicated as a prognostic marker in conjunction with other laboratory findings and clinical assessments in patients with advanced fibrosis (F3 or F4) due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), to assess the likelihood of progression to cirrhosis and liver-related clinical events
